The Bharatiya Janata Party, the other ruling party in the Shiv Sena-led Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, has rejected the civic administration’s new circular regarding its recreation ground and playground (RGPG) policy.

The BJP alleges that changes drafted in the new circular have been made by taking only Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan’s opinion into account. The new BMC circular denies permission for holding marriage and religious functions at plots reserved for gardens and recreational grounds. It also states that playgrounds should remain open exclusively for children during summer vacations, between April 15 and June 15.u00a0
