It is ‘save-the-racecourse’ time once again with the state government proposing a heliport in the middle of the headquarters of the Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) at Mahalaxmi.

Incidentally, the RWITC is also awaiting renewal of its lease, which had expired last year. For years now, the RWITC has fended off attempts by politicians and other parties with vested interests to take over the racecourse.
