Meanwhile, BMC begins razing illegal 9-storeyed building in Pydhonie

The demolition of an illegal ground-plus-nine storey building began in congested Pydhonie area of south Mumbai amid stiff resistance from its residents, a Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation official said on Tuesday.

Gulistan building has 90 flats and five commercial units and occupants were issued notice in March 2018 to vacate them, though several of them approached court, which few days ago ordered that the structure be brought down, he said.

Its construction, flouting a slew of civic norms, had led to the Maharashtra government suspending three civic officials, including an assistant commissioner, in 2018 for allegedly failing to discharge their duties and stopping it from coming up.
