Mumbai, January 8: If you have left your vehicle anywhere in public place and haven’t got it back, then run. Yes get it back before it is auctioned!


 

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has decided to auction those cars, bikes, autos and trucks which are kept in public place. The civic body has moved around 745 abandoned of them to their warehouse in last month.

It has been noted that in order to clean and free up public places, the civic body has decided to take away the vehicles to their warehouses. If the owners do not claim their vehicles within three months then they would be auctioned under the Section 490 (3) of the Act. If the owners come to reclaim it then they would have to pay a penalty. The BMC has been seizing unclaimed vehicles under section 314 of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1884.

Also the department will intimidate the owners about their abandoned vehicle and even after all these efforts the owner fails to reclaim it, they would proceed with the auction. The zonal deputy municipal commissioners have already started their work at the zonal level. Areas with abandoned vehicles are to be identified and contractors are to be hired for towing with traffic department’s help.
