Campa Cola demolition: Why legal 5th floor residents are worried

With no contractors coming forward to assist the BMC in the demolition of the 96 unauthorised flats in Campa Cola Society, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is confident their demolition plan will not affect the residents living there legally.



The legal occupants of the society, however, beg to differ. The residents claim that the razing of the illegal parts of the structure is being planned in a haphazard manner without proper planning and expertise, which could lead to damages in their authorised homes.


They have also not been promised any security during the demolition drive. Residents of fifth floors fear the demolition the most, as the floors immediately above them are to be razed, piece by piece.

Occupants had approached the High Court regarding this issue earlier and claim the court ordered them to return only after if any problem cropped up during the demolition. With monsoons around the corner, flat owners are worried about leakage and seepage.
