The Shiv Sena-led Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation plans to set up the hospital in South Mumbai’s Mahalakshmi in association with the TATA Group. The BMC seeks to keep the prices ‘affordable’ so that pets belonging to the lower strata of the society too can be treated. As per reports, the hospital is likely to come up over a 1,979 square meter area behind Arthur Road jail. The setting up of the hospital will be carried out in collaboration with the Mahalaxmi Trust. The trust was given the go-ahead for the setting up of the veterinary hospital recently.
