BMC Demolishes Illegal Hotel Extensions in Andheri West

BMC framed the operation as restoring compulsory open service areas to enforce building norms across Mumbai.

Overview

  • The BMC carried out a joint enforcement drive along Veera Desai Road and off New Link Road that removed unauthorised extensions at four hotels on Tuesday.
  • The establishments targeted were What's Your Bahana, Trove 9, Juliet and Yazu, officials said.
  • Teams led by K‑West ward officers and guided by senior BMC officials included staff from Health, Licensing, Fire, and Building & Factory departments.
  • About 20 personnel used JCB machinery to demolish the structures and the Health and Licensing departments seized 24 chairs, a cooking range, a microwave, three coolers, an electric fryer and two speakers.
  • The action is part of a sustained citywide crackdown to keep compulsory open spaces and service areas clear, which the BMC says is required for safe building operations and urban management.
