Portion of Amitabh Bachchan’s bungalow ‘Prateeksha’ to be demolish by BMC

The Mumbai civic body has provided a notice to Bachchan’s family for road formation that is a part of Bachchan’s Pratheeksha bungalow will be acquired for the widening of the Sant Dnyaneshwar Marg street

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Saturday began observance on its 2017 notice to demolish a part of veteran Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Prateeksha’ residency for road widening. The councillor told news agency ANI,”BMC gave notice to Amitabh Bachchan in 2017 under road widening policy but no action was taken. When the notice is issued, why was that land not taken by BMC? No appeal required for road widening project after notice served.”

Amitabh Bachchan along with Rajkumar Hirani, Oberoi Realty, Pankaj Balaji, Sanjay Vyas, Haresh Khandelwal and Haresh Jagtani, were lent notice by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for “illegal construction”. The case has now been raked up by Congress councillor advocate Tulip Brian Miranda who has charged the civic body of pushing its feet in taking action against the Bachchan estate. The councillor told no plea is needed after service notice for a road-widening project, but the BMC did not take any legal action.
