On Thursday, 2nd September, 2021, at 6:00pm, the Charity Flat at Rustom Baug, Bldg. No.: 13/3, was auctioned by the BPP Trustees and sold for 3.30 crores.


If YOU are a middle-class / poor Parsi (entitled to Free Housing at affordable rents as per the wishes and will of our munificent donor – the gracious and benevolent Lady Jerbai Nusserwanji Wadia), COULD YOU AFFORD THIS???

 

 

How can Trustees, who have ‘UPON TRUST’ been assigned their duty as ‘TRUSTEES’, to alleviate the housing issues of poor Parsis, take it on upon themselves to SELL a CHARITY FLAT for Rs. 3.30 crores???
