In Mumbai’s Trombay area, a Gymnasium is being constructed after demolishing two public toilets while the locals are strongly opposing the same. Earlier in 2012, two toilets were constructed in Ward number 143, near the Velankanni Church, from the Parliament funds. The locals used to utilise the public toilets.
Earlier in December 2018, two public toilets were demolished and even after the strong opposition from the locals, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) funds were utilised to construct the Gymnasium, illegally.
The locals said that the civic body is violating several rules and conditions in order to construct a gym. However, there is no board or sign regarding the construction.
RTI activist and Social worker Shakeel Ahmed Sheikh informed that the Shiv Sena’s local councillor, Rituja Tara, is generating pressure on the local police to extract benefits for her party workers while constructing the gymnasium.
