The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has sent a show-cause notice to actor-turned-politician Mithun Chakraborty for alleged unauthorised construction of ground and mezzanine floors at his Malad premises.
For those who don’t know, a mezzanine floor is a partial floor, which is usually built between two floors.
In his response, the actor claimed that he received the notice as part of the ongoing BMC drive in Erangal in Malad, where his premises are located. ‘I do not have any illegal or unauthorised construction. Notices have been sent to everyone, we are responding to them,’ he said.
According to the show cause notice issued on May 10, the Mumbai Municipal Corporation has warned the actor of prosecution under Section 475A of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act for unauthorised construction. Section 475A deals with penalties for failing to remove any unauthorised construction.
