Summary:
more-inMumbai: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has removed around 470 shanties from a seven-acre land in Chembur over the past three days. Recently, a meeting was held between all the stakeholders, including the BMC, the Collector’s office, the Forest Department and the Salt Pan Commission. Some years ago, a local residents association staked claim to the salt pan land. Both plots have been encroached upon for years with around 700 shanties cropping up on them. “We will demolish the remaining 200 shanties from the plot as well,” said a civic official from the M West ward..
