Mumbai: Mulund BJP MLA Mihir Kotecha has alleged that a Development Plan (DP) road linking LBS Marg between Off Park Road and Tansa Pipeline in Mulund West does not actually exist and was illegally incorporated into a developer’s project. Claiming that public property has been “stolen”, he has filed a complaint with Mulund police and demanded that the missing road, which would have helped reduce traffic congestion, be traced and handed over to BMC.Kotecha said the DP road is public property and is important for reducing traffic congestion. Under municipal corporation rules, he said, such roads are required to remain in BMC’s possession and be available for public use. He alleged that while a portion of the DP road has been constructed, the remaining stretch has disappeared and a nearly 60-storey building now stands on the site.In a representation submitted to senior police inspector of Mulund police station, Kotecha stated that the DP road between Off Park Road and Tansa pipeline on LBS Marg (plot numbers 543, 544 and 547, Nahur village) forms part of the approved Development Plan. He alleged that although part of the road has been developed, the remaining stretch is not physically available and has instead been incorporated into the developer’s project.
