NR Shende, director, the town planning and valuation department, confirmed that the extension has been granted till August 2.

Last week, when corporators started discussing the blueprint, the Shiv Sena demanded another 15 days to discuss the plan.

HT on Wednesday reported that corporators were going to bring in around 300 amendments to the plan, which will be tabled in the general body.

The highest number of amendments will be demanded by ruling party Shiv Sena — about 100-150, followed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is likely to demand another 80 changes.

Opposition parties such as the Congress, Samajwadi Party (SP) and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) will submit about 20 amendments each. The amendments made by the corporators will be sent to the state government’s urban development department for consideration.
