Ignoring the Bombay High Court's stay on new constructions in the city, primarily those in the real estate sector, has landed the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation in a soup. Even after five months of issuing work orders, post the Standing Committee's approval for construction of three swimming pools at the Worli Hill Reservoir, Chacha Nehru Play Ground in Malad and Rajashri Sahu Maharaj Kridangan at Vikhroli east, the project is yet to kick off. The civic body was ideally supposed to finish work on the project, worth Rs 25 crore, within 18 months.
