The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) housing board, which has the largest land parcel in the city, is narrowing its eyes hard to unearth more land in the city to construct homes for its housing lotteries, since most of its once-open land has been crawling with encroachments.

MHADA officials claim there are more than 90 encroached plots, and of these, 82 have been identified. (Above) A MHADA encroached plot near Powai lake. File pic
