The BMC's Improvements Committee has approved the proposal to convert the Neville D'Souza football ground in Bandra West into a convention and exhibition centre. "If you are wondering why India isn't playing the FIFA World Cup...stop wondering," Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray said, alleging that the BJP-led government wants to crush sports in Mumbai. The ground also has turf.
