Following allegations of illegal construction and violation of Coastal Regulation Zone norms levelled by the BJP, Milind Narvekar, the personal assistant of Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, demolished his own sea-facing bungalow in Murud in Ratnagiri district.
The Indian Express quoting sources in Shiv Sena reported that Narveker demolished his house apprehending action by the authorities. Narvekar had reportedly built a 2,000 sq ft sea-facing bungalow on a plot in Murud in Dapoli.
In June, BJP leader Kirit Somaiya had filed a complaint with the central and state environment departments alleging that constructions in the area by Narvekar, Shiv Sena Minister Anil Parab and few others were illegal.
Subsequently, a team, comprising officials from the Centre and state had visited the site.
