Navi Mumbai, Feb 20: The City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) on Wednesday demolished a 2,000 sq m unauthorised warehouse at Ritghar village in Panvel taluka, located within the notified Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area (NAINA).
Warehouse built without CIDCO permission
The action was taken by CIDCO’s Unauthorised Constructions (NAINA) department after it was found that the warehouse had been constructed at Survey No. 119/2 without prior permission from CIDCO and in violation of existing rules and policies.
The structure was also obstructing a proposed 36-metre-wide road planned by CIDCO. Officials said repeated notices were served to the concerned parties, but no corrective action was taken, forcing the authority to initiate demolition.
Heavy machinery deployed under police bandobast
The demolition drive was carried out using one JCB, one poclain machine, one truck, and eight jeeps, along with a team comprising one supervisor and eight labourers.
The operation was conducted under tight police bandobast, with the presence of local police officials, the CIDCO police squad, CIDCO security personnel, and members of the Maharashtra Security Force.
The drive was executed under the directives of Chief Vigilance Officer and Deputy Inspector General of Police Suresh Mengade and under the guidance of Chief Controller (Unauthorised Constructions – NAINA) Prashant Bhangare.
“We have adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards unauthorised constructions in the NAINA area. Any structure raised without prior approval will face strict legal and demolition action,” said Suresh Mengade, Chief Vigilance Officer of CIDCO.
