The civic body in Mumbai on Tuesday issued a notice to Independent MP Navneet Rana and her MLA husband Ravi Rana over alleged unauthorized alterations carried out in their home in Khar area, an official said.
The notice warns that the alterations can be removed and the original layout of the flat restored at the risk and cost of the legislator couple if they failed to provide "sufficient cause" for the works done, he said.
The notice, issued to the "chairman/secretary/owner /occupier" of the 8th floor flat located in a building on Khar West's 14th road, asked "why the said building or work shall not be removed or altered or pulled down or the use of premises restored".
A Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation team had visited the flat on Monday for inspection after two failed attempts earlier as it was locked, the official added.
