The Mumbai Suburban Collector has sent a notice to the encroachers to vacate the land at Shimpoli within seven days, after mid-day highlighted, in a series of reports, how it was grabbed to run food stalls under the name Borivali Chowpatty. In the notice, the collector also mentioned that if they fail to vacate the place, legal action will be taken against them and the stalls demolished. The costs will be recovered from the encroachers. 

The notice was sent on Tuesday morning by Shraddha Chavan who is the acting deputy collector of the encroachment department and a tahsildar of Borivli. The Collector’s Encroachment Department found that the land grabbers were also running a plant nursery, ‘Borivali Chowpatty’ food stalls, a paan bidi shop and a garage on the land.
