The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) conducted a demolition drive in the Koparkhairane ward on Friday, removing two under-construction buildings. The action was taken after the concerned individuals failed to respond to prior notices issued by the civic body regarding unauthorized constructions.
In Sector 15, Koparkhairane, a notice was issued on March 6, 2025, under Section 54 of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966, to Narayan Namdev Thomre for illegal construction at S.S. Type, Room No. 21. As no corrective action was taken, the structure was demolished. Similarly, on December 12, 2023, Shalik Hallaya Naik was served a notice for an unauthorised building at House No. 1123 behind Kukreja Ruby, Sector 12D, Ramnagar, Bonkode. This structure was also removed following enforcement action.
The demolition was carried out under the supervision of Koparkhairane Assistant Commissioner Vasant Mundavare and Junior Engineer Chandrakant Dhotre, with support from municipal officials, staff, and the NMMC police force. The operation deployed seven laborers, two electronic hammers, one gas cutter, and one pickup van.
The NMMC has reiterated its commitment to cracking down on unauthorised constructions and assured that similar enforcement actions will continue.
