In Mumbai, a debate has sparked over what to name the new East-West Vidyavihar bridge. Shiv Sena (UBT) is pushing for a tribute to the beloved late actor Nana Patekar, while BJP MLA Parag Shah champions Captain Smit Machchhars name. Advocates for Patekar highlight the importance of commemorating his legacy. Conversely, municipal officials question whether the bridge is the right venue for such recognition.
BMC has rejected the owners' response regarding the ongoing construction at the Juhu bungalow owned by Ajay Devgn. The civic body stated that the owners failed to provide necessary documentation proving authorized permissions for the work. A stop-work notice was issued on September 10 due to unauthorized additions using Siporex blocks. As no authorization documents were submitted, the ongoing construction has been deemed unauthorized.
