navi mumbai a vashibased rti activist has complained to nmmc as well as the chief ministers office cmo about an alleged illegal municipal construction of the indoor sports complex behind the lawn tennis courts in sector 10a the activist rohit malhotra has demanded immediate stoppage of this particular construction and an in depth inquiry into how this structure was allowed to come up without any formal approvalsthrough rti i have come to know from the nmmc town planning department that no formal approvals for construction were given to the proposed civic indoor sports complex on plot number 11 sector 10a in vashi yet in the last two months already one level of the structure has been completed by the civic engineers this is highly strange how any municipal structure can come up like this without even submitting any basic drawings or plan to the town planning that is why i have asked the nmmc chief and other top state level officers to inquire into this said malhotrahe further stated if any private structure was to come up in such a fashion without any formal approvals or cc commencement certificate then the civic body would have quickly demolished it so why is this illegal construction of the indoor sports complex allowed to take place i strongly suspect a local netas hand behind thiswhen toi spoke to the nmmc commissioner ramaswami n he said i will ask the concerned department to look into this complaint of the activistmeanwhile another activist anarjit chouhan commented technically speaking all proposed building plans must be sent to the municipal corporation for approvals and only then the construction can commence in the case of vashis indoor sports complex the building plan has not yet been approved by the tp hence something is amiss and appears that nmmc engineers are in a tearing hurry to build this sports complexinterestingly malhotra also spoke to the civic executive engineer arvind shinde about this issue and his response has also been documented as part of his formal complaint the executive engineer told me that since this is a municipal construction they can simultaneously begin the construction and get the building plans approved i find this rather surprising and therefore want a proper inquiry into this whole matter said malhotra
