Kalyan-Dombivli Civic Body to Demolish 10-Storey Illegal Building

The Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) has announced plans to demolish Yusuf Height, a 10-storey building illegally constructed on land reserved for a garden and night shelter. The demolition is scheduled to take place after the monsoon season. The building, located in Kalyan, was declared unauthorized following an investigation that revealed fraudulent practices by the builder.

Builder and Aides Face Legal Action

The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Thane Police has filed a complaint against builder Salman Dolare, his associate Faraz Hare, and two others for using fake permissions from KDMC to construct the building and sell flats. The fraudulent activities caused significant revenue losses to the government, while unsuspecting buyers were duped with fraudulent documents.

Whistleblower Complaint

Nishar Sheikh, who brought the illegal construction to KDMC’s attention, stated that despite the building being declared unauthorized and a demolition order being issued, no action was taken for a prolonged period. Sheikh also alleged that some KDMC officials were complicit in shielding the illegal construction, raising questions about accountability within the civic body.

Civic Action and Activist Demands

KDMC Assistant Commissioner Tushar Sonawane confirmed that a notice would be issued to the builder and a case filed against him. Activist Rupesh Bhoir, assisting the affected flat-buyers, has urged KDMC to take strict action against officials who were complicit in protecting the illegal project. Bhoir emphasized the need for stringent measures to deter other unscrupulous developers from exploiting reserved plots.

Buyer Awareness and Civic Responsibility

The case serves as a stark reminder for prospective homebuyers to verify property documents and ensure due diligence before purchasing flats. It also underscores the importance of robust civic oversight to prevent unauthorized constructions and safeguard public assets designated for welfare purposes.
