Parag Sathe, one of the building residents, said that they are very happy with the turn of events and would like to thank the civic body and the builder for providing them respite.
The plot where the pit was dug was entangled in a legal battle, as an opposing party got a stay order from the court a year ago. The builder Nandu Rajput had stopped work since, and the pit got filled with water. The accumulated water started percolating into the basement of the Sneha paradise, and became worse with the onset of monsoons, and started resembling a swimming pool.
PMC building inspector Amol Rudrage who took the initiative after the report was published, issued the permission letter to the builder after consulting with the PMC legal team.u00a0
