In a significant enforcement action, the City and Industrial Development Corporation (Cidco) has demolished illegal container yards covering 120,437 square meters in Uran's logistics park node, located near the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority in Navi Mumbai, India. This crackdown involved the demolition of structures on 13 survey plots in Jambulpadha and Belondakhar, areas experiencing a surge in unauthorized container storage due to their proximity to the port. Suresh Mengde, Cidco's chief vigilance officer, stated that the demolitions were executed after following due legal processes, including issuing notices and conducting hearings. Despite these efforts, operators such as KK Logistics and Shri Sai Deep failed to comply with the required land-use permissions, leading to this extensive demolition. This action is part of Cidco's strategy to reclaim land for its planned logistics park, which is crucial for supporting infrastructure development in the region, especially with the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport. Previous demolition efforts in Uran had cleared much smaller areas, highlighting the scale of this operation and the seriousness of unauthorized container yard activities.
