Unauthorised Construction in Ghansoli was Demolished by the NMMC
In Ghansoli, an under-construction ground plus one story structure was demolished by the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation’s (NMMC) Encroachment Department. The landowner, Gajanan Motiram Keni, and the developer, Mohammad Mumtaz Ansari, were carrying out this illegal development without getting prior permission from NMMC.
Notice was provided
The Maharashtra Regional Planning and Town Planning Act, 1966’s Section 54 was used by the Ghansoli ward office to issue a notice upon the discovery of these unpermitted constructions. At first, those who had built the buildings without permission were told to take them down on their own. Still, they ignored the order and carried on with building.
Under the direction of NMMC Commissioner Rajesh Narvekar, Deputy Commissioner of the Encroachment Department Dr. Rahul Gethe, and the Ghansoli Department Officer, the eviction of these unapproved constructions was started in order to remedy this problem. A police team lead by Commissioner Mr. Sanjay Taide and his department colleagues provided support for this operation.
Eight personnel and the necessary equipment helped to totally break down the unauthorised building thanks to this combined effort. In addition, the demolition of the previously stated unauthorised structure has resulted in the imposition of a Rs. 50,000 penalty. In the future, putting a stop to unauthorised encroachments will always be the first priority.
