Later 20 hectare land was given at Tisgaon. Later this place was also given to MHADA. union minister of state for finance Dr Bhagwat Karad repeatedly wrote to the chief minister, guardian minister and district collector for the land. More than 91 hectares of land is still available in Gut no 306 and 307 at Mitmita. The DPR of the scheme cannot be prepared unless space is available.
