Mumbai: The Nagpada
ward of the BMC on Thursday demolished 25 to 30 illegal shops at Minara
Masjid. This action has come after a small fire erupted in Minara
Mansion building opposite masjid on Wednesday early morning 6 am, the
fire brigade team was unable to reach the fire incident place due to a
number of shops over there.
Udaykumar Shirookar, the Assistant
Commissioner of Nagpada civic ward, stated that they have observed that
due to these shops the fire-fighting team was finding it difficult to
conduct the rescue operation. “Even the fire- tenders were having no
place to make their way to the spot.
Therefore, after the civic officials
inspected the site and found them illegal the structures been razed.
During the demolition drive, 25 civic employees were present. Also, six
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) been confiscated which were kept illegally
in these shops,” added Shiroorkar.
While the residents question on BMC’s action on demolition by raising
questions on how the stalls and shops got licences and the BMC negligent
over the fact that the building of the Minara Masjid is illegal itself.
