Taking action against dilapidated and illegal structures, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation took up a demolition drive at three locations in Bandra and Khar on Monday. While two of the structures were illegally constructed on collector's land in Khar, another was a dilapidated building in Bandra.

Civic officials from H Westward said that the two-storeyed building in Bandra was a 57-year-old structure which was staff quarters for a government bank. "Twelve flats in the residential building were occupied by employees of Canara Bank and we tried to demolish it earlier. But they went to the Bombay High Court which allowed the demolition. The residents evacuated about a month ago and the building was demolished," said the official from H West ward.
