- ✓The encroachment involves a 5,800 sq-m plot in Borivali.
- ✓A 3,400 sq-m portion is reserved for a BEST bus depot and an administrative building.
The Supreme Court ordered salaries of the BMC commissioner and staff withheld. This was due to the civic body's failure to remove an encroachment from land reserved for a BEST bus depot. The court acted because BMC failed to comply with previous orders to remove an encroachment.
It rejected BMC's request for more time and cited deliberate disregard of directions. BMC cited issuing show-cause notices and pending document verification. They also mentioned a civil court direction to hear occupants and an official's lack of Marathi knowledge.
The encroachment involves a 5,800 sq-m plot in Borivali. A 3,400 sq-m portion is reserved for a BEST bus depot and an administrative building.
