MUMBAI: BJP MLA and corporator Narendra Mehta has been asked to explain charges of unauthorised constructions against him on Wednesday.

MLA Narendra Mehta has been accused of alleged unauthorised extension to his Seven Eleven Academy school in Mira Road. The Mira Bhayander Municipal Corporation (MBMC) commissioner Achyut Hange has issued a final show cause notice to Mehta to explain his stand. Earlier on January 5, Mehta was issued a show cause notice asking him to explain the allegations made by a citizen. Mehta did not attend the hearing. All eyes are on whether Mehta will be present for the hearing on Wednesday.

Hange has already issued notices to five corporators accused of illegal constructions. Corporators Zuber Inamdar and Hansukumar Pandey of the Congress, Yeshwant Kangne of the BJP, Liyakat Shaikh and his wife Shabnam of the NCP were present before the civic chief in November last year.

Following pressure to disqualify the corporators, Hange has now decided to put a proposal before the civic general body meeting regarding moving the court seeking the corporators disqualification.
