Even as the BMC and the State spar over how much land would be needed to construct a new heliport inside the Mahalaxmi Race Course, Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) chairman Vivek Jain says the club will fight the proposal to the end, adding that noise from choppers could scare the horses in the children’s riding ring next door, which may cause fatal accidents
