The
Mumbai
civic
body
has
also
instructed
Mumbai
Suburban
Collector
City
survey
officials
to
demarcate
the
exact
portion
of
the
bungalow
that
will
be
acquired
for
the
road-widening
project.
Advocate
Tulip
Brian
Miranda,
Municipal
Councillor
said
that
BMC
first
gave
notice
to
Bachchan
in
2017
under
road
widening
policy
but
no
action
was
taken.
"The
BMC
had
given
notice
to
actor
Amitabh
Bachchan
in
2017
about
this
situation
under
the
road
winding
policy.
The
wall
of
the
plot
adjoining
Bachchan's
bungalow
was
taken
and
drainage
has
been
created.
But
Bachchan's
house
has
been
left
untouched."
She
went
on
to
add,
"When
the
notice
was
issued,
why
was
the
land
not
taken?
It
belonged
to
a
common
person
they
would
have
taken
it
immediately
under
Section
299
of
the
Municipal
Act
notice
that
says
you
don't
have
to
wait
for
a
second
notice
of
appeal."
The
advocate
revealed
that
the
BMC's
work
had
been
completed
for
all
other
houses
except
around
Bachchan’s
bungalow.
She
said
that
the
key
project
had
been
stalled
and
despite
repeated
attempts,
she
was
unable
to
get
through
to
authorities
until
she
threatened
to
go
to
the
Lokayukta.
"I
started
agitation
and
followups
in
February.
I
am
very
happy
that
this
work
resumed
when
I
said
that
I
will
go
to
Lokayukta
if
this
particular
order
is
not
followed
and
if
it
notice
is
not
consummate,"
Miranda
added.
