After a warning from Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials to raze them, 11 shop owners have demolished their illegally built floors on their own at Nahur along the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road. The shop owners said they decided to pull down the floors themselves as BMC officials warned them that charges for demolition plus the cost to carry out the action would be levied on them.
Now only a couple of eateries whose owners have received a stay order from the Bombay High Court still have illegal floors. mid-day had exposed the illegal constructions by owners of eateries and pubs along the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road (GMLR) in December 2022. Only few of the shops had permission to construct an additional floor after the area of the shops was cut down due to road widening for GMLR.
