Actually the police did not seem to co-operate during demolition of illegal constructions it seems. So, the policy mooted a special task force at the disposal of the municipal commissioner and special court.

Hi guys.. as Praveen said, it was proposed that a special task force for a municipal corporation would be headed by an IPS officer of the rank of additional commissioner and would comprise 1,104 police personnel. But till now, no municipal corporation has set up either the task force or the special court..

Till now no measures have been taken to implement a March 2009 order to set up special civic police stations and special courts across 22 municipal corporations to regulate unauthorized construction. 4 years ago, CM Ashok Chavan had drafted this plan. But the government is not bothered about the issue.

You are right Mr. Joshi.. but our govt is not at all concerned I guess. More than 70 people lost their lives when the illegal building in Mumbra collapsed. Such disasters had happened in the past also..
