Mumbai, Apr 1 (PTI) The Deputy Chairman of Maharashtra Legislative Council today expressed displeasure over apathy of the state government toward providing better housing to police personnel. "Whenever there is any issue of common man, the government officials would raise some technical point. I have been trying for past eight years to get repair the houses in police colony in suburban Thane and written to everyone including DGP and then Home Minister but in vein," Davkhare said in the council during discussion on poor plight of police housing in the city. He criticised the state officials for adopting double standards when it comes to housing for police personnel.
