Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee has requested 10 days from the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) to submit documents regarding properties linked to him and his company 'Leaps and Bounds' after the civic body issued notices for alleged unauthorised construction. The KMC had sent notices under Section 400(1) of the KMC Act seeking approved building plans for properties on Kalighat Road and Harish Mukherjee Road. While initial reports mentioned two properties, media reports later claimed notices were sent for 17 properties, including some linked to Banerjee's relatives. The TMC leader had earlier told journalists to specify which part of the building was illegal, sparking a political row with opposition parties demanding a detailed probe. Civic sources said the KMC was inclined to grant the extra time sought by the company.
