Saraswatibai Bishwambharlal Charity Trust — illegal construction and breaking of building walls

Address:

Maheshwari Mansion, 34 Nepean Sea Road, Mumbai 400026, Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400026

Maheshwari Mansion which is more than 80-year old building at 34 Nepean Sea Road in South Mumbai is managed by Saraswatibai Bishwambharlal Charity Trust. The building has sprawling flats let out on tenancy by Saraswatibai Bishwambharlal Charity Trust. The tenants of flat 18 in C-Wing on 2nd floor have made several illegal additions and alterations in the flat. Earlier they converted the kitchen to bedroom and the master bathroom in the passage was converted to kitchen. The water pipes from the washing area of the kitchen was diverted by extension pipes. The same bedroom which was earlier the kitchen of flat 18 is being renovated. I could see workers removing the window for which they have even broken the wall of the building. Drainage pipes are being tampered with by hired labourers. This illegal construction work on the rear side of the building has been going on since the past ten days from 18th September, 2019.
