The Kolkata Municipal Corporation has initiated stringent administrative action against Trinamool Congress (TMC) national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, issuing a formal seven-day notice to dismantle unauthorized structural portions of his residential property. The regulatory enforcement comes immediately after the recent West Bengal assembly elections, which fundamentally reconfigured the regional legislative authority framework. Municipal building inspectors finalized the legal intervention on Monday, citing extensive violations of standardized structural building codes.
The administrative agency processed two individual notices targeting both Banerjee`s corporate firm and his mother.
According to institutional reports, the first legal directive names Banerjee’s commercial real estate venture, "Lips and Bounds," while the parallel document designates his mother, Lata Banerjee, as the primary non-compliant owner. The municipal oversight board identified specific illegal expansions executed at Banerjee’s primary Harish Mukherjee Road residence, "Santiniketan," alongside unapproved construction components on Kalighat Road. The corporate command forces the owners to eliminate the unauthorized concrete framework within one week or present formal justification, failing which municipal commissions will execute the demolition directly and bill all operational expenses to the family.
Abhishek Banerjee publicly rebuked the municipal intervention, classifying the legal maneuver as an act of calculated political vendetta by the newly established state administration. The TMC leader asserted that corporate intimidation tactics would fail to deter his ongoing ideological resistance against central ruling frameworks. Conversely, the newly instated West Bengal Chief Minister, Suvendu Adhikari, confirmed to media circles that his department has successfully extracted documentation regarding twenty-four distinct real estate properties tied to the Banerjee family, prompting immediate regulatory compliance audits.
