Maharashtra's Revenue Minister, Chandrashekhar Bawankule, has mandated a thorough investigation into alleged irregularities in two residential projects in Kharghar, Mumbai: Godrej Properties and Bhagwati Vihaan. The decision follows complaints from BJP legislator Vikrant Patil, who reported illegal excavation of minor minerals and unauthorized construction activities. During a meeting at the Mantralaya, Bawankule emphasized that violators would face strict consequences. The investigation will be conducted by a coalition of agencies, including the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO), the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), and local police. Patil highlighted that the unauthorized activities not only breach environmental regulations but also pose significant health risks to residents, citing a tragic incident where a young man died due to heavy dumpers linked to the projects. The revenue minister has requested a report within seven days to address these serious allegations.
