In a letter sent to RTI Activist Anil Galgali, the competent officer and Asst Engineer P South Ward has informed that, a notice under Section 53(1) of the MRTP Act was issued to Super star actor Amitabh Bachchan and 6 other bigwigs for illegal Construction in their respective bungalows. In response to the notice, Architect Shashank Kokil and Associates representing the Owner/Residents/Developer's submitted a fresh ammended plan on 5th January 2017 to the Executive Engineer (Building Proposal), Western Suburbs, P Ward. The Execution Engineer acting on the application with ammended plans have regularised the violation as per the previous approved plans.

Anil Galgali had in a letter addressed to CM Devendra Fadnavis had demanded strict and immediate action under the MRTP Act against the violators and carrying out demolition of the violation. Galgali had also alleged in that letter that several officer's of the department were hand in glove and were adopting delaying tactics for the purpose of securing approvals through regularisation proposal, which seems to have succeeded, alleged Galgali. In a blatant display of disparity, the Mumbai Municipal corporation bulldozes the structure's of the poor Slum dwellers and in the other side works towards regularising the illegal Construction of the Rich and the Powerful, lamented Anil Galgali.
