A Shopkeeper from Zaveri Bazar has alleged that the beat chowkie of LT Marg police, constructed right in front of his shop, is leading to loss of business. Mitesh Sheth claimed he had requested the police to not build the chowkie in front of his shop and later also approached the BMC, but nothing has been done. Following this, Sheth has now moved court, which has ordered the police to submit a detailed report in the matter.

Sheth told mid-day, “When they were taking measurements in front of my shop, I had enquired and learnt they were planning to construct a beat chowkie. I had told them that the chowkie would completely cover my shop front, making it invisible to customers, but they did not listen to me. I even wrote a letter to the police commissioner, but to no avail.  When I went to BMC’s C ward office, they told me no permission was granted for the construction of this chowkie.”
