Actor Shah Rukh Khan has been ordered by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation or BMC to demolish an allegedly illegal ramp constructed outside his Bandra bungalow Mannat.
A notice was sent to Mr Khan yesterday in which he was given a week to demolish the ramp. If he fails to do so at the end of the week, the BMC will remove it and send the bill to the actor. says that sources close to Mr Khan claim that he had received no such notice.
A week ago, local MP Poonam Mahajan wrote to Municipal Commissioner Sitaram Kunte after Bandra residents complained to her. Ms Mahajan is quoted in the mid-day report as saying, "I haven't seen any documents regarding the notice; I have only heard the news via the media. I have done my work. The residents had approached me as they were suffering, and I wrote the letter only because I felt for the cause. My letter wasn't against any individual or organisation. The convenience of the common man is my prime motive. If the BMC has initiated action, I welcome it."
Mr Khan's vanity van is often parked on the ramp, which runs along Mannat. His neighbours have complained that the ramp prevents access to a large portion of the road and blocks the route from Bandstand to Mount Mary Church.
