Action taken against illegal studios Madh, Marve, Erangal, Bhati and Malad early September was short-lived. Despite receiving a report from an inquiry committee nearly a month back, BMC chief Iqbal Singh Chahal has taken no action.

In the first week of September, Chahal formed a team to conduct an inquiry into the allegation of illegal construction with the connivance of BMC and Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) officials.
