Almost a year after a government resolution (GR) was passed for formation of the Mira- Bhayandar Vasai-Virar (MBVV) police commissionerate, it has been decided that the local civic body will give their building in Ram Nagar area to the government on rent for two years so that newly appointed commissioner Sadanand Date can have a proper office. After being appointed last week, Date has been making rounds of the Mira-Bhayandar and Vasai-Virar police stations, without a proper place to operate from.

Speaking to mid-day, Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) Mayor Jyotsana Hasnale, said, "The state government appointed a new police chief for MBVV but did not finalise an office for the commissionerate. Had the government told MBMC in advance, we could have finalised the office before his appointment."
