BMC gives nod to 200 real estate projects in Mumbai
Shortly after the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) started giving permissions to private real estate projects in the city for carrying out pre-monsoon construction amidst the lockdown, the civic body has approved more than 200 projects out of 350 applications it had received. The pending approvals are being scrutinized, and approval will be given shortly, said chief engineer of BMC's development plan department, Vinod Chithore, adding that the local body has allowed resuming pre-monsoon works at the constructed or under construction sites, where work had commenced prior to March 14 and left uncompleted due to the lockdown. Niranjan Hiranandani, MD, Hiranandani group, said that his company has resumed work at the ongoing projects in Powai, Thane and Panve with over 3000 workers. The site administration takes the necessary prevention measures like fumigation, disinfectant, wearing masks and gloves, staggered labour spread, and sanitization. These include the construction of retaining walls, work of shore piling to protect against landslides, waterproofing of terraces and exposed areas, completion of basements and other sub-soil works. Also, several developers have lamented that while construction permission is being given for projects where labors are available on the site, but travel permission for supervisors, engineers is becoming challenging.
