Vasai-Virar:- A recent turn of events has put the Vasai-Virar Municipal Corporation under intense scrutiny. Questions are being raised about how 55 unauthorized buildings managed to secure water connections from the municipality. The residents residing in these structures are grappling with the possibility of losing their homes, while concerns about the legitimacy of property tax collection from flat owners continue to loom large.
The controversy erupted when the Vigilance of the Virar police brought to light the existence of 55 unauthorized buildings. Although it was initially believed that only three buildings had obtained permission from Maharera through forged documents, further investigations revealed a more intricate web of deceit. These unauthorized buildings managed to get approval based on the falsified permissions, causing immense distress among the occupants who were caught unaware.
The process by which these unauthorized buildings secured water connections from the Vasai-Virar Municipal Corporation is raising eyebrows. With the looming threat of demolition, residents are pressing for answers regarding the municipality’s involvement in this matter.
Adding to the intrigue, doubts are being cast on the legitimacy of property tax collection from flat owners in these unauthorized buildings. Given the questionable legality of these structures, concerns are arising about the authenticity of property tax payments and whether the Vasai-Virar Municipal Corporation has been able to effectively enforce tax collection from these occupants.
In light of these revelations, demands for an inquiry into the assets of Vasai Virar Municipal Corporation officials are growing stronger. The residents are seeking clarity on why the municipality didn’t take action earlier despite issuing notices to the builders of these unauthorized structures. As the investigation progresses, the public is eagerly awaiting a clearer understanding of the municipality’s role and the potential for accountability.
The course of action that the Vasai-Virar Municipal Corporation will take to address these pressing concerns and restore the confidence of the affected residents remains uncertain. As the truth gradually unfolds through ongoing investigations, the residents of Vasai-Virar are hoping for a resolution that delivers justice and a fair solution to their distressing predicament.
