The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has demolished the office of the Shiv Sena (UBT) former corporator at Bandra East
The former corporator, Haji Muhammad Khan claimed that the civic body has demolished Shiv Sena (UBT) shakha office which has been at the location for 20 years
Meanwhile, UBT party workers tried to persuade the BMC officers to not raze the structure, but the demolition was carried out anyway, in the presence of a large police force
According to a BMC official, the office bearers had been served a notice to voluntarily raze an unauthorised portion of the office. “The office was illegal,” said the official
According to Shital Mhatre, spokesperson of the Shinde-led Shiv Sena, the BMC follows norms before taking any action. “If he claims the office was authorised he can appeal to the BMC administration and even in court,” she said, adding that her party doesn’t indulge in such practices to put political pressure on anyone
