Following several complaints from an activist from  last month, a team from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Tuesday demolished a brick wall that was being illegally constructed near Malabar Hill’s Rungtha Lane storm water drain outfall. Activist Santosh Daundkar had claimed that construction of the wall was a CRZ violation. However, he said that an FIR should be registered against those involved in it due to the violation.

The brick wall was being constructed by the members of Brighton society in the area and action was taken after the storm water drainage (SWD) department asked the D ward office to clear the encroachment. A member of the society, however, claimed that they were constructing the wall for the protection of slum dwellers.
