BMC demolition of illegal structures in Mumbai

Overview

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) initiated a demolition drive at the Rustomjee Crown luxury residential complex in Prabhadevi, Mumbai. The action targets 128 units where residents allegedly enclosed common areas, such as elevator zones, to expand private living quarters.

These unauthorized constructions, estimated to be between 450 and 800 square feet per unit, involve high-profile owners including politicians, senior bureaucrats, and businesspeople. The BMC has begun demolishing these structures under police protection following complaints regarding building regulation violations and encroachment on shared utility zones.
