According to the notice served by the civic body, parts of floors 3, 13, 26 and 28 were unauthorised. Sources said these were meant as a refuge area. But, the BSE had built a dining room, ply and wooden partitions, meeting hall, boardroom, library, office cabins and other structures in the space.
The demolition programme began with the top-most floor yesterday. The rest of the work will be carried out on the other floors in descending order. Authorities at BSE have assured the civic body that they will raze the illegal structures themselves, and the BMC will only be there as supervisors.
Vasant Prabhu, deputy municipal commissioner of the concerned zone, said, &ldquo;BSE authorities first approached the High Court and then the Supreme Court, but the case didn&rsquo;t stand. They have now agreed to remove the unlawful structures on their own. Our staff will supervise it.&rdquo; Ward officials, along with MRA Marg police officials and encroachment removal squad, were on the spot to ensure removal of illegal portions.

The civic body brought down illegal portions of the 28th floor of the BSE yesterday; the floor was earmarked as service area, but had a full-fledged office built on it
