"Action will be initiated to take over three Parsi properties in the city whose municipal lease has expired,” stated Bombay collector (and district magistrate) Shivaji Jondhale, according to a news item in the Hindustan Times of August 29, 2019. The unnamed properties are said to be the Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) owned Rustom Baug, Jer Baug and Ness Baug.
The "writing is on the wall. We need to sink our differences, drop our egos, come together and work together,” communicated BPP trustee Noshir Dadrawala in response to the news item. He added that for the BPP owned Parsi Lying-in Hospital also, an "order to acquire has been issued for nonpayment of lease rental.”
