Illegal construction at Agarwal's Mahabaleshwar club bulldozed

At the time of reporting, the district administration has razed 15 illegally constructed rooms in the club.

The district administration had last week sealed the club after Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde ordered Satara collector Jitendra Dudi to bulldoze the MPG club if its construction was found to be illegal, as alleged by RTI activist Abhaysingh Havaldar.

Havaldar had alleged that the land was leased to the Parsi Gymkhana Club for residential purposes, but it was being used for commercial purposes.
