Maharashtra Housing Minister Jitendra Awhad on Friday accused Thane Municipal Corporation officials of taking away Rs 14 crore worth of equipment from a COVID facility in Kausa here without permission from MHADA.

Awhad, a senior NCP leader and MLA from Mumbra-Kalwa, said the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority, which is part of his ministry, had donated the equipment last year when the outbreak was at its peak.
