KOLHAPUR: Satara district administration Saturday demolished eight cottages constructed illegally in a Mahabaleshwar club owned by the family of the teenager allegedly involved in the Porsche crash that killed two engineers in Pune on May 19.
The club was built on govt land and run by a trust. The parents and grandparents of the teen allegedly involved in the crash are the members of the trust.
Though the land was leased for residential use, it was being used for commercial purposes in violation of govt land use laws.Earlier, Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde had ordered the Satara collector to bulldoze the club if its construction was found illegal, as alleged by local RTI activist Abhaysingh Havaldar.
Municipal council administrator Yogesh Patil said: “We had issued a notice to the owners, asking them to take down the illegal structures on their own. Since they did not take any action, we razed eight cottages on Saturday as per the collector’s orders.”
While Havaldar thanked the CM, the guardian minister and the collector for quick action, he said the property should be taken over by govt.
