The ordnance depot in Kandivli
Builders in the Malad-Kandivli belt have been losing sleep thanks to a circular sent by the Central Ordnance Depot that will effectively halt work on all ongoing projects around military establishments. The circular cites Defence Ministry guidelines of 2011 prohibiting constructions within 500 metres of army outposts. It is said that real estate projects that get stuck in Mumbai are likely to never get completed. Builders in Malad-Kandivli and the people who bought flats in these areas are now affected.
Due to a lack of a No Objection Certificate NOC from the Central Ordnance Depot (COD) in the Western Suburbs and the Navy in the Central Suburbs, several projects have been held up and new circulars are awaited from the Ministry of Defence (MOD). Meanwhile, the COD, Kandivali, sent a letter to the Building Proposals Department for development within 500 meters of COD, citing a 2011 notification. The builders of Malad-Kandivali have lost their sleep over this.
