Mumbai: Sena corporator faces disqualification over ‘illegal construction’ charges

Mumbai | Saturday | 16th February, 2019

Summary:

He is accused of constructing an illegal “zunka bhakar kendra” named “Annadata Aahar Kendra”, an eatery providing food at subsidised rates, at Saradar Nagar – 1 of Sion-Koiliwada. His disqualification will also weaken Sena’s leadership in the BMC since it may been seen as backing the illegal construction. A complaint was filed by former Congress corporator from Antop Hill, Lalita Yadav, demanding Satamkar’s disqualification from the corporator’s post, accusing him of involvement in an illegal construction. Following this, former corporator Yadav filed several complaints with the BMC seeking to demolish the structure and disqualify Satamkar. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) administration will move a proposal at the next general body meeting seeking to disqualify senior Shiv Sena leader and four-time corporator Mangesh Satamkar over alleged illegal encroachment..
