The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued demolition notices for 120 illegal sheds and extensions in Peru Compound, Lalbaug, directing occupants to remove them within a week or face civic action. The sheds, used for small businesses and food stalls, were built without BMC approval and have drawn complaints from residents about congestion and inconvenience. The notice, issued on August 25, 2025, follows a complaint lodged on August 22. BMC officials, working with police, said no further deadline will be given. The move is part of the civic body's wider crackdown on unauthorized structures and encroachments across Mumbai's residential areas.

The notice was issued after a local resident filed a complaint with the BMC's F South Ward office on August 22, 2025. The compound, which is located in a residential area, is home to a large number of families, and the illegal sheds, which were built without BMC approval, have been a source of a lot of inconvenience for the residents. BMC is now working with the police to ensure a smooth and safe demolition drive, and the civic body has also said that it will not give a new deadline for the demolition.
The BMC's action is a key part of its ongoing crackdown on unauthorized constructions and encroachments in the city's residential areas.
