BMC Demolishes Portions of Juhu Property Over Alleged Unauthorised Construction
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) demolished parts of a property in Mumbai's Juhu area over alleged unauthorised construction, including internal alterations and partition walls, despite a stop-work notice issued on September 10, 2026. The property, located in Kapole Co-operative Housing Society, was reportedly leased for commercial use as a salon and spa.

The demolition followed the owners' failure to provide required approvals within the stipulated time.
