BMC faile court case against Shahid Kapoor

Mumbai, Sep 17: A day subsequent to serving notification to Bollywood performing artist Shahid Kapoor over mosquito-rearing spots at his private premises, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will document an argument against him for not submitting to its standards.

The BMC’s bug spray group discovered reproducing spots of aedes aegypti mosquito (which can spread dengue, chikungunya among different sicknesses) in the on-screen character’s private swimming pool at his living arrangement in Juhu Tara Road range.

BMC’s Executive Health officer Padmaja Keskar said “I have requested that the legitimate office document a court body of evidence against the performing artist for his carelessness. The case would be recorded in a day or two.”

The urban body yesterday served a notification to Shahid Kapoor under Section 381-B of Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888, looking for his clarification.

“We are not going to sit tight for the performing artist’s reaction to our notification. We are pushing forward for activity, (for example, gathering of fine) against him and would record a court case,” she said.

Keskar said not just the filmstar, court bodies of evidence are likewise being documented against every one of those whose premises were discovered lodging mosquito-rearing spots.

Discontinuous showers have left pools of stagnant water in a few ranges of the city, giving a fruitful ground to expansion of illness spreading mosquitoes. This, combined with an ascent in temperature, has prompted increment in the instances of dengue fever in the city.

As per BMC Health Department, 122 patients of dengue were being dealt with at different doctor’s facilities. Plus, more than 1,500 individuals have been admitted to different healing facilities for suspected dengue this month alone.
