Mumbai, Mar 23 (PTI) A ‘mazar’ like structure being constructed unauthorizedly off the coast of Mahim in Mumbai was on Thursday removed by district collectorate, civic and police personnel, an official said.
Mumbai City Resident Collector Sadanand Jadhav told PTI the “mazar’ and the structure around it had come up illegally on revenue department land.
A six-member team was formed for its demolition with the help of personnel from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and Mumbai police, he added.
