BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) has become serious to remove illegal buildings in Mumbai’s Mud area. Now Mithun Chakraborty’s name has also been included in this list. The veteran actor and BJP leader has been sent a show cause notice in Arangal village of Malad due to alleged illegal construction. According to municipal officials, Mithun will now have to explain why construction should not be demolished. If they do not answer this, BMC can drop it and take legal action.
The BMC has identified more than 100 illegal constructions in the Mud area, including some bungalows, which were allegedly made using fake layout plans. Officials say they are planning to remove all such illegal buildings by the end of May.
