LIVE! Campa Cola demolition: Residents refuse entry to BMC officials
November 12, 2013  11:54
It's Demolition Day for Campa Cola housing colony residents in Mumbai. Only 10 out of 96 unauthorised in the Campa Cola society have been vacated till now. The rest of the residents have refused to move out and BMC officials have been refused entry. The Supreme Court had set November 11 deadline to vacate the flats. 

On October 1, the Supreme Court had ordered the residents of over 90 illegal flats to vacate their houses by November 11. The BMC had issued eviction notices to residents of the illegal floors under Section 488 of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act last week warning them not to obstruct the civic staff when they initiate demolition.

The residents of the Campa Cola compound have had a long legal fight since 2005 when they first went to court for water connection and regularization and the court ordered the then municipal commissioner to take time-bound action on the case.
