Chief Officer of MMC Agnelo Fernandes confirmed that the Pushpanjali Cooperative Society was demolished reportedly by the owners of the building without clearance from MMC or taluka administration. “I have issued verbal orders to my staff to stop the present work of demolition. I will also soon issue stop work order against this work,” he said.
