Here is some good news for citizens. After mid-day's consistent reports about the delay in its inauguration, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will open the city's first arts and crafts village, Shilpgram tomorrow.

Mayor Vishwanath Mahadeshwar wrote to municipal commissioner Ajoy Mehta on October 8, asking the administration to make arrangements for the inauguration on October 14. But while it will be thrown open, the sale of arts and crafts won't start, as the search for a manager is still on. The development of Shilpgram, located in Poonam Nagar at Jogeshwari east, was completed over a year back, but it was not inaugurated since the civic body failed to appoint a manager for operational and maintenance work. The BMC had spent about Rs 25 crore on the project.
