The assistant commissioner of K West was transferred on Friday amid ongoing actions against encroachments in Versova. Last week, a subordinate engineer was suspended for failing to address the encroachment issue.
Versova has been in the spotlight recently due to a significant crackdown on encroachments. On Wednesday, BMC demolished illegally constructed buildings in Shiv Galli at Versova village. This follows previous demolition drives on June 3, 4, and 11, targeting structures built in ecologically sensitive marshlands and Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) areas. A special demolition squad was formed for these operations.
