Long-standing plans to buy an affordable dream home in the city may have hit just another hurdle, with the MHADA Mumbai Repair and Reconstruction Board submitting a plan seeking to legalise lofts that tenants have made in their old homes, but builders are not very happy with the proposal. If the board get its way, then a tenant would not only be entitled to the 300 sq ft area flat under the redevelopment scheme, but will also get the equivalent of the loft area.
