Mumbai civic body to raze 9,800 shanties by year end
In addition to the 5,777 illegal hutments razed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation along the Tansa pipeline, it has said it will demolish 9,816 more by year-end. The Bombay High Court in 2009 had ordered the BMC to remove illegal hutments setup in a 10-metre radius of the main water pipeline and secure the area.
