Months after laying the new and wider girders of the Hancock Bridge across railway lines, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has realised that a few buildings on Shivdas Chapsi Marg are coming in the way of the bridge's alignment. In view of this, it has issued notices to seven buildings located along one side of the road, as they would have to be demolished to make way for the bridge. Though the civic body has said that they will provide alternative accommodation to the 660 families residing in the seven societies, all of them are reluctant to move out.

However, on Wednesday BMC teams demolished some of the civic body's structures, a Meghwad Samaj office and a temple on the other side to widen the road.
