The Union Ministry of Urban Development and Housing has issued an order in this regard and relief has come to lakhs of citizens who applied for MHADA, CIDCO houses. In this regard, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde had requested the central government last month. This was then followed up by Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
