BMC shuts down Chhabildas’s illegal kitchen, banquet hall

Mumbai: After a recent gas leak that injured three labourers on the premises of Chhabildas, the well-known Dadar school, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation woke up from its slumber and realised that the banquet hall on the school premises had been operating illegally for almost four years. Dr Virendra Mohite, the BMC’s medical officer of health said, “The banquet hall had no permission from our department. When asked whether permissions were obtained for the banquet hall, Salvi admitted, “The banquet hall is in the BMC’s approved plan. We have decided to close the banquet hall for now.” A contrite Salvi said that such oversights had never happened in the long history of the school.
