After sending a notice to Union Minister of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Narayan Rane to demolish unauthorised work at his bungalow in Juhu on March 11, the BMC sent a fresh order this week granting another 15 days. 

The BMC had inspected the bungalow in the last week of February and sought a reply on the work carried out at the eight-storey structure by March 4.  Rejecting a reply of 13 points filed by Rane’s lawyers Hasmit Trivedi and Kiran Bait, the BMC later issued a notice, giving the owners 15 days’ time to demolish “the illegal additions”. The notice had stated that unauthorised construction had taken place in the basement by converting a portion into a room. It also listed other illegal construction activity between the first and eight floors, except the seventh floor.
