Piramal Realty Project Receives Stop-Work Notice from MCGM as Notice Issued to Glider Buildcon Over Construction Dispute

As per news sources, the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) has reportedly issued a stop-work notice to Glider Buildcon Realtors, a subsidiary of Piramal Realty. The notice halts the construction of a high-rise residential tower near the Rani Baug Zoo in Byculla, South Mumbai.

This action was allegedly prompted by a complaint from an environmental activist regarding a missing No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Zoo Authority and other potential violations.

Clarification from Piramal Realty

Piramal Realty clarified that the issue affects only a small portion of the project. The company stated that the stop-work notice concerns a minor part of the construction, and necessary steps are being taken to regularize the situation as per MCGM’s policies.
