Mumbai, Oct 26: Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has received a notice from the Mumbai civic body – the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) – over illegal construction.

According to news agency, the civic body had issued to similar notices to seven other persons besides the Bollywood superstar.

Right to Information (RTI) activist Anil Galgali had sought information from P South Ward Office of Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) about the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices (MRTP) notice that was issued against Bachchan and others.

"In 2016, Municipal Corporation had issued Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices (MRTP) notice to Bachchan and seven other people. They have made illegal construction in their Goregaon bungalow. They have made changes in their main maps for making illegal construction," Galgali was quoted.

According to the information received by Galgali, the notice was issued to seven persons including Rajkumar Hirani, Oberoi Realty, Pankaj Balaji, Sanjay Vyas, Haresh Khandelwal and Haresh Jagtani, besides Amitabh on December 7 2016 for the changes in their approved plans.

On receiving the MRTP notices, architect Shashank Kokil had submitted a proposal on January 5 2017, which was rejected by the MCGM's Building Proposal department on March 17.

On May 6, the P South Ward office issued final orders to remove the violation and continue with the sanctioned plans.

Kokil re-submitted the plans after the ward issued another notice stating that due to non clarity of the regularisation proposal, it is difficult to continue with further actions.

Galgali, meanwhile, wrote a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Municipal Commissioner Ajoy Mehta, demanding immediate action against the defaulters and demolish the illegal extension.

Galgali further stated that under MRTP a probe by the municipal corporation is currently on against Amitabh Bachchan and others and action may be taken in this regard.

Mumbai, Jan 13: On the ongoing protests against new Citizenship Law, Bollywood actor Zeeshan Ayub said that everyone has been exposed and the common man has understood everything and the right-wing people cannot make a fool out of them by giving vague statements.

Talking to ANI, Zeeshan said, "Law is supposed to give the citizenship but the way in which the criteria have been changed is the trouble here."

Disagreeing to the continuous statements put forward by the BJP government that CAA is not a hindrance to the citizenship, the actor further said, Things are clear now, people have now understood the facts, the people and the intention behind are now exposed,.. they can't make a fool out of common people any more."

Zeeshan said it actually the other way round, those people are the ones who are misleading the general public by fluctuating their own statements. "Home minister said something, the next day something else is being said in the Ram leela..people are getting confused., the 'Ranjahanna' actor added.

He further said, "Earlier it was Hindu-Muslim propaganda, but that didn't work, so now you are making it a case between two political parties.. basically you are changing your own statements." When asked about his take on the ongoing JNU Violence, the actor said the members of the alleged political party itself have come out and explained their part in the case and yet no action has been taken.

The actor finally said that people should develop a sense of humanity.
