Mumbai:Â The officials of the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) have reached the Campa Cola society to try and enter the premises of the compound and evict the residents of illegal flats in the society. Sources say BMC officials may consider using force. But like Friday, residents, led by women, have barricaded themselves in to stop civic teams that have arrived with cops to prepare grounds for their eviction in keeping with a Supreme Court order.
Earlier, in the face of increasing resistance to eviction from Campa Cola compound residents, the civic body has filed a police complaint against those preventing officials from implementing the Supreme Court order even as its team has decided to try again to convince the occupants to leave the illegal flats today before opting for use of force.
According to the Worli police, the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) officials approached the cops with the video recording of their thwarted attempts on Friday to enter the housing complex in South Mumbai to cut off essential supplies to illegal flats. “The MCGM approached us late last night and filed a complaint against the residents of the Society. They have also provided us with the video footage of their attempts to enter the compound, which was blocked by the residents,” an official from Worli police station said.
The video recording will be examined and suitable action will be taken against the offenders, the official said.
