The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has raised the issue on the ban imposed by the Mumbai police on construction works after 10 pm.
At the review meeting with Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, the civic body commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal requested the state government to put such restrictions on hold as it was affecting the disposal of debris from the sites.
The ban has been badly affecting the disposal of the debris and could lead to the major problem during monsoon.
The Mumbai police chief Sanjay Pandey have been asked to put the order on hold till May 31, until the desilting of the culverts and nullahs are complete ahead of monsoon.
In the meeting, Thackeray also took stock of the pre-monsoon works. Thackeray reportedly conducted a meeting with representatives of a range of agencies that include the likes of the BMC, Mumbai Metro, MMRDA and MHADA.
