The civic administration has ordered a probe to find out how a prime plot on SV Road in Goregaon was taken away by a private builder right from under its nose. Measuring 5,564 sqft, the plot belongs to the civic body but has been developed by Goregaon-based Asmi Developers.

Immediately after mid-day's report, Municipal Commissioner Ajoy Mehta instructed his officials to get more details in the matter. "This is serious. Need to get into details of the issue. I have asked the concerned ward officer to get all papers pertaining to the case," Mehta told mid-day over the phone.
