**Thane: BNCMC Launches Strict Drive Against Illegal Road Digging and Water Connections**
The Bhiwandi Nizampura City Municipal Corporation (BNCMC) has initiated a stringent drive targeting violators involved in unauthorized road digging for drainage installations and illegal water connections. Acting under the directives of Municipal Commissioner Anmol Sagar, the corporation registered three FIRs against individuals accused in separate incidents.
### Incident 1: Road Dug for Drainage Line
The first case occurred at Roshan Baug near Dhobi Talav Stadium in Bhiwandi, where Asif Shaikh allegedly dug up a corporation-owned road and installed a drainage line without permission. This unauthorized activity caused a financial loss of ₹98,000 to the corporation. Consequently, an FIR was lodged against him at the Bhoiwada police station under sections 324(4), 324(5), and 326(B) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita.
### Incident 2: Illegal Water Connections
In the second incident, Naseem Akhtar Ansari, a plumber, was found to have tapped into the corporation’s main water pipeline at Roshan Baug without approval. Officials confirmed that he had created seven illegal water connections, resulting in a loss of ₹84,000 to the BNCMC. An FIR was registered against Naseem under sections 324(4), 326(A), and 303(2) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita at the Bhoiwada police station.
### Incident 3: Unauthorized Pipeline Taps
The third case was reported on Dargah Road, Bhiwandi, where Samir Mohammad Yusuf Momin allegedly tapped five illegal connections from the main water pipeline without the corporation’s consent. Action is being taken in accordance with relevant laws.
### Enforcement Team
