Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was recently approached by BJP MLA Sneha Dube Pandit to discuss the pressing issue of rehabilitating residents affected by the demolition of 41 illegal buildings in Palghar district. According to PTI reports, the meeting also focused on other crucial civic concerns in the region.

The Vasai Virar Municipal Corporation (VVMC) had carried out the demolition of these structures, which were constructed in the Nallasopara area using fraudulent documents. As per PTI, the buildings were illegally erected on land designated for a sewage disposal project and dumping ground. The Bombay High Court has since sought clarification from the VVMC on its stance regarding the rehabilitation of thousands of affected residents, granting it a three-week deadline to respond.
