Day mid-day reported about the divide within the BMC over a 21-acre plot in Mulund, which is in the process of being acquired for a 5,000-bed infectious diseases hospital, legislators, corporators and activists also came out to oppose the corporation's plan and urged the chief minister to order an enquiry into the matter.

A section of the civic body has alleged that the plot belongs to a private individual who will benefit from the deal by not having to pay capital gains tax on the profit made in the deal. However, the other half has said the plot belongs to the state government and that the BMC is not finalising the deal.
