I couldn’t locate any news articles from April 10, 2025, specifically reporting that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) demolished a patient shelter before a firm could seek relief. However, there have been similar incidents in the past:
- High Court’s Directive to BMC: In a case where the BMC demolished structures at Bharat Coal Compound in Kurla, the Bombay High Court criticized the civic body for its actions. The court noted that while it hadn’t granted urgent relief or stayed notices on April 4, it had requested affidavits from the BMC by April 22. Despite this, demolitions occurred on April 6 and April 12, leading the court to remark that the petitioner’s case wasn’t isolated.
- Demolition of Residential Structures: In February 2023, the BMC demolished the residential portion of the 100-year-old Krishna Baug building in Malad, citing its dangerous condition. However, the commercial establishments on the ground floor were left intact, prompting residents to consider legal action against the BMC for partial demolition.
- Illegal Building Demolition in Pydhonie: In September 2022, the BMC initiated the demolition of an illegal building in Pydhonie, leading to 90 families losing their homes. Residents expressed distress over the sudden action and questioned how the building had escaped BMC’s notice during its construction.
If you have more specific details or context about the incident you’re referring to, please share them, and I’ll do my best to provide accurate information.
