MUMBAI: Four years after receiving a BMC notice, actor Amitabh Bachchan’s family will finally have to part with a portion of their Prateeksha bungalow plot in Juhu for widening of the adjoining Sant Dnyaneshwar Marg.
The BMC has asked Mumbai suburban collector Milind Borkar to instruct city survey officials to demarcate the exact portion required for the road-widening project, reports Chaitanya Marpakwar.
BMC issued a notice to the Bachchans in 2017
To eradicate the traffic bottlenecks in the lane leading from Prateeksha towards ISKCON temple, the BMC is taking over a portion of properties to widen Sant Dnyaneshwar Marg, which connects Chandan Cinema area to Link Road, from 45ft to 60ft. The work is almost done, but for the stretch in front of Prateeksha.

MUMBAI: Several corporators who have got the BMC to start vaccination centres in their respective wards are ensuring maximum local residents get the jabs on the three days when walk-in is allowed.
Currently, the BMC allows walk-in vaccination on three days of the week Monday to Wednesday only for senior citizens, lactating mothers and those aged above 45 years who have to be administered the second vaccine dose.
Kalina corporator Tulip Miranda said the purpose of pursuing the BMC to start a vaccination centre within their ward was solely to benefit local residents.
“I daily send out detailed messages on the number of vaccine doses that the BMC allocates to the centre. I am also following up with the BMC to allocate a session, if possible, for any infirm person who may be above 18 years old,” said Miranda.
