MUMBAI: A Development Plan (DP) road connecting Off Park Road to LBS Marg via the Tansa Pipeline area in Mulund West has allegedly disappeared after being absorbed into a private residential project, prompting a police complaint seeking an investigation into the alleged encroachment of public land.
The complaint filed by MLA Mihir Kotecha on Thursday at Mulund police station alleges that the sanctioned DP road, located across survey plots 543, 544 and 547 in Nahur village, has been only partially developed, while the remaining stretch has effectively vanished from the site. The missing portion is alleged to have been incorporated into a project, with the complaint also naming the project’s architect as being responsible.
Under BMC regulations, DP roads are public property and are required to remain under the civic body’s control for use by the public. The complainant has sought the registration of a criminal case, a detailed investigation into the alleged disappearance of the road and restoration of the missing stretch to the custody of the BMC’s T ward.
The complaint, filed with the Mulund police, is accompanied by copies of the sanctioned Development Plan map and other supporting documents.
