Mumbai: A day after the BMC inspected Hotel Ram Krishna in Vile Parle, adjoining the Jain temple site which was demolished, it served two notices to two structures of the hotel.
The notices were served under Section 53 (1) of MRTP Act 1966 for unauthorised construction; the BMC gives a 30-day time period to reply to such notices under the Act.

A senior BMC official said as the hotel is an old structure dating back to 1977, they also called for detailed plans from the Development Plan (DP) department on it.
Over the past two days, civic officers checked whether there were any illegal alterations or additions to the structure. The demand for inspection was also made by the Jain temple trustees.
Meanwhile, a hearing was held at the minority commission, attended by civic officials on Thursday, in which the BMC was asked to put forth its say regarding the demolition of the temple on April 16.
“We presented the facts before the commission on why the action was taken,” said a civic official.
Over the past weekend, the BMC had transferred its ward officer, Navnath Ghadge, following an uproar over the demolition of the temple.
