Haji Halim Khan, chairman of markets committee and a Shiv Sena corporator, wants to regularise illegally constructed lofts and mezzanine floors in municipal markets. He claims this will increase the civic body's revenue by over Rs 4 crore.

In a letter written to the administration, he has cited the example of Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Market, popularly known as Crawford Market, where about 488 units have lofts or storage places.
