The notice, issued on 10 May, cites various sections of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act regarding illegal construction.
BMC Alleges Violation of Regulations
The BMC alleges that two ground-plus-mezzanine floor structures, a ground floor structure, and three temporary units were constructed without permission. These temporary structures, featuring brickwork, wooden planks, glass walls, and AC sheet roofing, are considered violations of municipal building regulations. The BMC has warned that if a satisfactory response is not received within the stipulated time, legal action will be taken under Section 475A, and the illegal construction may be demolished.
Mithun Chakraborty: I Have Not Carried Out Any Illegal Construction
After receiving the notice from the BMC, the actor stated, “I have not carried out any illegal construction. Notices have been sent to many people, and we are sending our response to the BMC.” However, social activist Nadeem Sheikh questioned why Chakraborty’s construction was spared when 24 illegal structures were recently demolished. The BMC clarified that a total of 101 illegal structures in Erangal and surrounding areas will be demolished by the end of May.
This is not the first time Mithun Chakraborty has received a BMC notice for such a matter. In 2011, he was also issued a similar notice regarding illegal construction. It is noteworthy that Mithun Chakraborty owns luxurious property including a farmhouse, hotels, and several bungalows in Mumbai, Kolkata, and Ooty. Meanwhile, the BMC team is continuously taking action against illegal constructions in Mumbai.
