Mumbai: The BMC took action against an unauthorised building in the Madh Island area on Thursday. The civic team of P North ward demolished its ground floor and three upper floors. The structure, located at Darne House (Christian Pada) in Malad, was found to be in violation of BMC regulations, said the civic official.
The eviction and demolition drive was led by Kundan Valvi, Assistant Commissioner of P North Ward, with a team of 10 workers, 10 police personnel, engineers, assistant engineers, and officials from the Building and Factory Department. Due to the area’s dense population, special precautions were taken to ensure the demolition process posed no risk to neighboring structures.
Last week, the BMC undertook a massive demolition drive targeting unauthorised alterations in hotels, dormitories, and structures in the industrial area in Saki Naka. The civic team demolished internal walls, illegal floors, and other unauthorised structures that violated building regulations.
