MUMBAI: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will send a fresh notice to 675 tenants living in the Century mills compound in Lower Parel, asking them to vacate the premises within 15 days, officials from BMC's estate department told Hindustan Times. The first such notice was issued in February this year, after the Supreme Court upheld the BMC's claim over the 25,000-square metre (approximately 6.17-acre) plot, the sources said.

But Century Mills Kamgar Rahiwasi Sangh (CMKRS), the association representing the tenants, claimed they did not receive any notice and said the BMC was obliged to rehabilitate them.
