MUMBAI:

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had sent a letter to the contractor, Larsen & Toubro (L&T), ten days ago, directing it to halt work due to objections raised by the Breach Candy Residents' Forum (BCRF).

A civic official told HT that a decision is yet to be taken on how the site can be used and that the BMC is exploring the possibility of using it to alternatively park government or police vehicles as the plot has already been excavated.

"We had stopped work in October, and when we resumed in December, we received objections from BCRF. So, we gave the contractor a formal communication ten days ago," said the civic official.
