The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Monday initiated action against the encroached lands, including shop extensions on the narrow road at Chirag Nagar in Ghatkopar West, where a tempo had lost control and run down a few people, killing one person on December 27. In a similar action, the BMC also demolished 14 structures on S V Road in Goregaon to remove bottlenecks.

A 35-year-old woman had died while five pedestrians were injured after a speeding tempo rammed into them on a narrow road in Chirag Nagar.  The fish market road in Chirag Nagar, which is around 1.5 km long, was being encroached upon by the hawkers and footpaths encroached upon by the shopkeepers.
