Khotachiwadi residents were alert again as some doors and windows of the Fernandez House or bungalow no 28 in the heritage precinct were removed, despite the decision to continue work only after consultation with a conservation architect.

Locals have been fighting over the issue of redeveloping the bungalow for the past two months and had complained to the heritage committee after the new owner of the bungalow, Shri Panchmangalopasak Shwetambar Murtipujak Tapagachh Jain Community Trust, started pulling down the over 90 years old building in April.
