# BMC issues stop-work notice for Ajay Devgn’s Juhu bungalow over salon plan 2026-09-25T19:41:42+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued a stop-work notice for actor Ajay Devgn's 7,802 sq ft bungalow in Mumbai's Juhu after work began on a proposed luxury salon and spa. The notice, from the K-West ward, followed a complaint by the Kapol Co-operative Housing Society, which opposes the commercial use of the residential property. Residents have raised concerns over parking, security, and noise on narrow internal roads. The bungalow at Plot S-10, JVPD Scheme, was leased to Florian Hurel Salons Pvt Ltd under a five-year agreement registered on August 10, with starting rent of Rs 16 lakh per month, reports Livemint. The Devgn family has sought four weeks to respond to the notice. A source from the actor's camp told Hindustan Times that all requisite permissions and approvals have been duly obtained. The resolution depends on whether the paperwork satisfies BMC's commercial zoning rules. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Hindustan Times and Bollywood Hungama report the dispute as a straightforward civic compliance issue, giving equal weight to the society's objections and Devgn's assertion that approvals exist. Livemint, however, opens with the Rs 47.5 crore valuation and pandemic discount, framing the story around celebrity wealth before the legal question. This risks making the regulatory point secondary. The core question remains whether the Devgn camp's claimed approvals cover a change of use from residential to commercial. The BMC's assessment of those documents will determine the next step. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Straight factual account of BMC action and Devgn camp response - bollywoodhungama.com (neutral report) Balanced reporting with both society and Devgn camp views - livemint.com (sensationalist) Leads with property valuation and pandemic discount, drama-first framing Tags: Ajay Devgn, BMC, Florian Hurel Salons, Juhu, Kajol Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bmc-issues-stop-work-notice-on-ajay-devgns-juhu-bungalow/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
