27 shops on Borivali plot meant for BEST bus station demolished after Supreme Court orders BMC Commissioner’s salary freeze

What's behind this

The Supreme Court imposed a Rs 5 lakh fine on the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and ordered a freeze on the salary of its commissioner after finding the body had failed to clear encroachments on land earmarked for a BEST bus station in Mumbai. The court issued a contempt notice to Commissioner Ashwini Bhide for not complying with an earlier directive. In response, the BMC removed 27 encroachments from a 3,400‑square‑metre plot in Borivali a day after the salary freeze was announced.
