The BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is going to fine a developer Rs 70 crore and will also confiscate his deposit worth Rs 1.5 crore for selling TDR illegally. The fine will be levied regarding a property in Worli.
According to the BMC, the developer was supposed to demolish the existing transit camps in Worli's Gomata Nagar and build 9 buildings there. In lieu of that, he was supposed to give the civic body a TDR of 2 lakh sq feet but instead of doing so, he sold off the TDR illegally. MNS corporator Santosh Dhuri has been pursuing this matter and had taken up a point of order in Wednesday's Improvement Committee meeting.
