The Maharashtra government will examine the demand for ownership rights for Mumbai police housing quarters, appointing an eight-member committee led by the Additional Chief Secretary of the Home department. This committee will study the legal, technical, and financial feasibility of granting ownership, considering potential challenges like existing government policies and similar demands from other state employees. The decision comes amid the election period, with no specified timeline for the committee's report. Police colonies currently house over 19,000 personnel, falling short of the force's needs.
