Amitabh Bachchan, seven others get notice from BMC for illegal construction
Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan and seven others have been issued a notice from Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Wednesday for illegal construction. "In 2016, Municipal Corporation along with Amitabh Bachchan has issued Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices (MRTP) notice to seven other people. They have made illegal construction in their Goregaon bungalow. They have made changes in their main maps for making illegal construction," said Right to Information (RTI) activists Anil Galgali Rajkumar Hirani, Oberoi Realty, Pankaj Balaji, Sanjay Vyas, Haresh Khandelwal and Haresh Jagtani were issued a notice other than Amitabh Bachchan on December 7, 2016, for the changes in their approved plans. Architect Shashank Kokil submitted a proposal on January 5 2017, after MRTP sent notices. The proposal was rejected by the MCGM's Building Proposal department on March 17. Later on May 6, the P South Ward office issued a final order to remove the violation and continue with the sanctioned plans. Kokil resubmitted the plans after the ward issued another notice stating that the due to non clarity of the regularisation proposal, it is difficult to continue with further actions. "In coming days, under MRTP, the municipal corporation is investigating to register FIR against Amitabh Bachchan and other people," Galgali added. -PTC News
