Demolition resumed today, June 19, 2025: Thane Municipal Corporation, with heavy police protection, deployed excavators and bulldozers to resume tearing down the 17 illegally built residential blocks. Progress so far: Nine buildings have been completely demolished. Three more have been stripped down to their bare RCC frames. Utilities—water and power—have already been cut off. Timeline: Officials expect the entire demolition operation to be completed by June 23, 2025, in accordance with the court-mandated deadline. Impact on residents: Many homebuyers, who invested their life savings here, are left devastated, returning to find rubble instead of their dream homes. Calls for accountability: Activists are demanding an official investigation into how these illegal constructions were approved—alleging negligence or even collusion on the part of municipal officials—and they seek penalties imposed on the responsible parties to compensate affected residents.
