Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has disconnected the water supply and sewerage connection to Amoli Co-operative Housing Society Ltd at Plot No. 28, Sector 30, Sanpada, after the building continued to be occupied despite being classified as a C-1 (highly dangerous and unfit for habitation) structure. The building had been declared unsafe during the 2019–20 structural assessment, and notices directing occupants to vacate had already been issued. The civic body stated that the action was taken in compliance with directions of the Bombay High Court to facilitate the evacuation of dangerous buildings. Electricity supply to the building will also be disconnected shortly as part of the ongoing enforcement process.
Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has disconnected the water supply and sewerage connection to a C-1 category dangerous building in Sanpada after finding that residential occupation continued despite earlier notices directing occupants to vacate the premises. The enforcement action was carried out on June 23 within the jurisdiction of the Turbhe Ward Office under the directions of Municipal Commissioner Dr Kailas Shinde.
The building, Amoli Co-operative Housing Society Ltd, located at Plot No. 28, Sector 30, Sanpada, was classified during the 2019–20 structural assessment as a C-1 building, the highest risk category denoting structures that are highly dangerous, unfit for habitation and require immediate evacuation.
According to NMMC, notices had previously been served to the concerned parties instructing them to discontinue the use of the building and vacate the premises. However, municipal officials found that several flats continued to be occupied for residential purposes despite the building's hazardous condition.
The civic body stated that the action forms part of measures undertaken in accordance with directions issued by the Bombay High Court in Writ Petition No. 1135 of 2014. The court had directed civic authorities to disconnect essential utility services, including electricity, water and gas supply, to facilitate the evacuation of buildings declared unsafe.
Acting under these directions, NMMC disconnected the building's water supply and sewerage connection on June 23 to prevent continued occupation of the structure. The corporation further stated that the electricity connection to the building will also be disconnected in the coming days as part of the enforcement process.
The operation was carried out under the guidance of Additional Municipal Commissioner Rahul Gethe and Deputy Municipal Commissioner (Encroachment) Sanjay Shinde. It was supervised by Assistant Municipal Commissioner Sagar More of the Turbhe Ward Office.
Officials from the Water Supply and Sewerage Department, along with Junior Engineer Vinod Ambre and other municipal personnel, participated in the operation.
NMMC said the action is part of its ongoing efforts to enforce safety regulations relating to dangerous buildings and to ensure compliance with evacuation orders issued for structures classified under the C-1 category.
