The Project Affected People (PAP) staying at Mahul, who are fighting a legal battle with the civic body regarding the living conditions, have a new worry. They have geared up for another fight with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), after reports that it plans to create quarantine facilities for those affected by COVID-19 in its vacant buildings at Mahul.

As the number of Coronavirus patients is increasing every day, the BMC is looking for a place where thousands of people can be quarantined. While the developer's association CREDAI is ready to help the civic body and offer vacant flats and nearly completed buildings, the BMC is looking for a centralised centre where they can provide health facilities easily. A BMC official said, "There are few chances that the COVID-19 situation might get worse and we will require to quarantine thousands of people. So we are preparing a plan. BMC has a complex of buildings at Kurla, where about 8,000 people can be accommodated, but the buildings have not been in use for the past eight to 10 years after they were built, and are in need of major repairs."
