The BMC has issued a fresh notice against unauthorised construction at Union minister Narayan Rane’s Adhish Bungalow in Juhu. As per the notice, the owner should raze the unauthorised structure within 15 days, failing which the BMC will demolish it.
A team of nine personnel from K-West ward on February 21 inspected the bungalow in the presence of Rane and his son Nilesh. The team took measurements and photographs to verify the alleged illegalities. In its notice dated March 4, the BMC had pointed out several changes of use on all floors, including the basement, except the seventh floor.
The current notice also mentions Narayan Rane’s wife Neelam and their son Nilesh. The notice states that ample opportunity was given to the Rane family to provide answers to unauthorised structures but no proper answers were received.
