Following claims by the Federation of Churchgate Residents' Association (FCRA) last week that construction had resumed at Vasant Sagar building in violation of Supreme Court (SC) orders, the owners have denied that any building work took place.

mid-day had reported on August 30 that FCRA members had approached the civic body alleging violations of the SC order, which essentially bars any construction work. A spokesperson for Vasant Sagar Properties Pvt. Ltd., however, told mid-day that the owners had only set up a 'tarpaulin' shed on 'the ground floor' and put up a 'temporary structure on the top floor/roof of the unfinished building' to protect the structure during the monsoon.
