"The redevelopment of the fire station was discussed on 7th January 2026, in meeting held under the chairmanship of incumbent Chief Secreatry in which the then BMC Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani was present. In the meeting, the BMC was asked to make a plan for redevelopment of the fire station based on the 3,500 square meter plot, but unfortunately there has been no development in the issue since then,” Narwekar has pointed in his letter to Rajesh Aggarwal, Chief Secretary of Maharashtra, BMC commissioner, Ashwini Bhide and Maharashtra Legislative Assembly speaker, Rahul Narwekar.

Call for Prompt Action
This fire station is critically important given the rising population in the area and important government installations nearby including Vidhan Bhavan and Mantralaya. “The entire plot is in the possession of BMC. The land is reserved for Fire Brigade purposes. The premises falls under Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ)as per CZMP 2019. Considering the strategic importance of this fire station and the urgent need to upgrade its facilities, prompt action is necessary,” the corporator added.
