Mumbai civic body to demolish Shah Rukh Khan's house Mannat's ramp ;

 

Shah Rukh KhanThe Mumbai civic agency has on Thursday directed that the steel ramp outside actor Shah Rukh Khan's bungalow 'Mannat' from which he addresses his fans in suburban Bandra be demolished.
Officials said Municipal Commissioner Sitaram Khare has ordered (a notice for the same will be sent to the actor tomorrow) that the ramp be dismantled within the next seven days. The order followed a letter by Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Mumbai north-central Poonam Mahajan to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) over the illegal parking ramp outside the actor's bungalow.
The complaint letter stated the ramp, which the actor uses to greet his fans and park his vanity van, has become a nuisance, as hundreds of his fans stand on the road outside, leading to traffic chaos and causes inconvenience to the neighbours. Mahajan's letter to the municipal commissioner was prompted by repeated complaints of local residents.

 

 

The BMC, by sending a stern warning to the actor, has also decided to issue a notice which said that Khan should either demolish the ramp within seven days or the civic agency will demolish it themselves.

"We need to look at this issue legally and lawfully and follow the procedures as we are supposed to do as a government," Mahajan had said in her letter to the BMC.
But she had not mentioned the actor in the letter, instead her letter had referred to "one individual".
According to a senior BMC official, even though the commissioner's directions were given on Thursday, the notice will be sent to the actor on Friday.
"We will follow the legal procedure. We will send the notice on Friday and will ask the actor to demolish the ramp within seven days," the commissioner said.
