The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has started compliance on its 2017 notice to demolish a part of Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Prateeksha Bungalow’ for road widening. The BMC has given a notice to Bachchan’s family for road widening that a portion of their bungalow plot will be acquired for the widening of the Sant Dnyaneshwar Marg road. The BMC has also instructed Mumbai Suburban Collector City survey officials to demarcate the exact portion of the bungalow required for the road-widening project.
Sant Dnyaneshwar Marg connects Chandan Cinema area to Link Road towards Iskcon temple.
Advocate Tulip Brian Miranda, Municipal Councillor, while speaking to ANI, asked why the BMC’s work had been completed for all other houses except around the Bollywood actor’s, and said that the key project had been stalled.
“The BMC had given notice to actor Amitabh Bachchan in 2017 about this situation under the road winding policy. The wall of the plot adjoining Bachchan’s bungalow was taken and drainage has been created. But Bachchan’s house has been left untouched,” Miranda said.
