With buildings in the city crumbling like sandcastles, even the deputy leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha must conform when an assistant engineer of BMC asks him to stick to construction regulations. The civic authority, eager to clear up unsanctioned additions made in a property owned by Gopinath Munde, finally prevailed after he apparently divested it of all changes the BMC deemed unapproved.

BMC has said Munde’s shop no 15 in Shubhada building in Worli, can’t be used as an office as the civic permit allows its use only as a shop. Pic/Satyajit Desai
