The Story in Brief
Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee has sought 10 days from the Kolkata Municipal Corporation to submit documents linked to properties associated with him and his company, Leaps and Bounds. A letter was submitted to the KMC building department on Saturday evening, the corporation told Millennium Post. The civic body had issued notices under Section 400 (1) of the KMC Act seeking approved plans and permissions for structures on Kalighat Road and Harish Mukherjee Road. Initial reports named two properties, but several media reports later claimed notices were sent for as many as 17. Civic sources indicated the KMC was inclined to grant the time.
The Indian Opinion
The KMC's demolition drive across Tiljala, Kasba and Beliaghata is being sold by both sides as either a fearless clean-up or a political witch-hunt. The truth is more mundane: unauthorised floors exist across party lines, and the civic body has ignored them for years. The minister's promise to act against officials who facilitated irregularities is the test, not the number of bulldozers. Watch whether KMC files cases against its own building department staff, or whether the drive quietly stops after the court cases begin.
