They said that the building is almost complete and for the last two years work has stopped but the SMC has failed to demolish the structure. They said that the owner is trying to get the issue resolved.
The residents have appealed to the Lt Governor Manoj Sinha to take action against the officials who have allowed construction of the structure and urged him to get it demolished.
