The police commissioner sounded unhappy with the apex body of developers in the city. He said, “I had called MCHI and they thought, saheb must be saying all this, but nothing will happen, OK, I think we had called those fellows, developers and given them warning, shall not misuse rights given to you (builders). But it appears this has not been listened to. Hold on, yesterday we took action in Chembur under Bombay Police act, but now we will take action under IPC.”

“You (builders) are getting very good business, limit your happiness to yourselves. Do not cause sadness to everybody else.”

The commissioner even asked developers to limit their happiness to themselves.

He said, “You (builders) are getting very good business, limit your happiness to yourselves. Do not cause sadness to everybody else.”

He delivered his final message to developers saying that. “My message to builders; do not harass citizens, do not take law into your hand.”

The police commissioner was very clear with his message, which means developers not working according to the set law will face the music.
