BMC Axes 9 Flats in Rustomjee Crown

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has taken drastic action against the Rustomjee Crown high-rise in Mumbai, razing illegal changes made in 9 flats. This move comes as a result of the BMC's ongoing crackdown on unauthorized constructions in the city.

The Rustomjee Crown, a prominent residential complex, has been found to have made illegal alterations in several of its flats, prompting the BMC to take swift action.

According to BMC officials, the changes made in the 9 flats were in violation of the approved building plans, and the owners had failed to obtain the necessary permissions for the alterations.

The BMC has been actively working to identify and demolish unauthorized constructions in Mumbai, with a focus on ensuring that buildings are constructed and altered in accordance with the approved plans and regulations.

This is not the first instance of the BMC taking action against unauthorized constructions in the city. In recent months, the corporation has demolished several illegal structures, including extensions, balconies, and other alterations made without proper permissions.

The action against the Rustomjee Crown high-rise serves as a warning to other builders and homeowners who may be considering making unauthorized changes to their properties.

The BMC's efforts to curb unauthorized constructions are aimed at ensuring the safety and well-being of residents, as well as maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the city.

In addition to the demolition of the illegal changes, the BMC may also impose penalties on the owners of the 9 flats, as well as the builder, for violating the building regulations.

The Rustomjee Crown incident highlights the need for homeowners and builders to adhere to the approved building plans and obtain necessary permissions before making any alterations to their properties.
