The P North ward office of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has issued a show cause notice to actor Mithun Chakraborty for alleged unauthorised construction of ground-plus-mezzanine floor structures at Erangal, Malad in Bombay. The notice, dated May 10, seeks a satisfactory explanation for the construction. Mithun said, he had no unauthorised constructions, and that notices had been served to one and all.
On May 13 and 14, illegal structures in the Erangal and Valnai areas of Madh Island were demolished by the civic body. The BMC said, a total of 24 structures were razed to the ground in two weeks, and more than 101 unauthorised structures had come up over the past year. It added that all the 101 structures would be demolished by the month-end.
The notice to Mithun lists the ‘illegal’ structures which include two ground floor constructions having mezzanine floors, and three temporary 10 x 10 units constructed using brick masonry walls, wooden planks, glass partitions, and AC sheet roofing. The notice states that all these constructions “were carried out without obtaining permission”.
A similar notice was issued to the actor in 2011.
