· India · Indian Express, The Hindu
The Supreme Court froze BMC chief Ashwini Bhide's November salary for failing to remove encroachments from a Borivali land parcel reserved for a BEST electrical substation. BMC officials launched a massive demolition drive at 7 am, clearing unauthorised shops, shanties and commercial units. The land, under litigation since 1986, had received multiple prior eviction notices to shop owners. Officials state all encroachments will be removed within 24 hours.
Why it matters
The action directly affects Bhide's salary and forces immediate removal of illegal structures blocking the substation's operation.
