Summary:
Vadodara: The Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) has decided to drop a housing scheme for the urban poor at Sama pond in the city. The standing committee did not decide on the proposal at its meeting held on Thursday. All persons whose homes were razed were given houses in the VMC's schemes for the urban poor. The VMC administration put a proposal in this regard before the standing committee. The decision was taken as the site was not feasible for the project to be taken up under the public-private partnership mode.The civic body had recently razed 361 dwellings as well as around 30 shops around the Sama pond..
