Mumbai civic body demolishes unauthorised sections of actor Devgn's residence

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) carried out demolition operations at a residential property belonging to prominent Hindi film actor Ajay Devgn on Monday, citing violations of municipal building regulations. The civic body identified unauthorised construction elements at the bungalow and proceeded with removal of the illegal structures following standard enforcement protocols.

The BMC's action underscores ongoing efforts by the municipal corporation to curb unauthorised construction across the city's high-value residential areas. Property owners who undertake structural modifications without requisite approvals from the BMC face penalties and demolition of illegal work, regardless of their public profile or status.

Mumbai's building regulations require property owners to obtain prior permission from the BMC before undertaking any structural changes, additions, or renovations. The corporation has intensified compliance checks in recent months to ensure adherence to zoning laws and construction standards across residential neighbourhoods.

The demolition represents a routine enforcement action by the BMC's anti-encroachment wing. Officials have not disclosed specific details regarding the nature or extent of the unauthorised construction at the property or the estimated cost of the removed structures.
