Panvel: The Panvel Municipal Corporation has released a list of buildings classified as highly dangerous and dangerous for the year 2025-26, based on surveys conducted across its jurisdiction. A total of 80 properties falling under the C-1 category have been identified as unsafe across different ward committees: Ward A – 18, Ward B – 15, Ward C – 10, and Ward D – 37.

As per Sections 265 and 268 of the Maharashtra Municipal Corporations Act, 1949, and directives issued by the State Government, residents of these buildings have been officially instructed to vacate their premises. These structures pose a significant risk, especially during the monsoon, and the corporation has urged immediate relocation to prevent potential accidents.

Municipal Commissioner Mr. Mangesh Chitale has issued a stern advisory, warning that if residents and property owners fail to comply, the civic body will be compelled to disconnect electricity and water supply, and evacuate and demolish such structures with police assistance.

Owners of these dangerous buildings are advised to voluntarily and safely demolish their properties. In the event of any mishap resulting in loss of life or property due to building collapse, full responsibility will lie with the residents, owners, and tenants of the concerned property. Additionally, it will be the responsibility of the property owner or occupier to conduct a structural audit of any extremely dangerous properties. The municipal corporation will not be held liable for any such incidents.

The complete list of dangerous buildings is available on the official website www.panvelcorporation.com. Citizens are also encouraged to report any unsafe structures in their vicinity to their nearest ward officer.

To avoid loss of life, citizens are strongly urged not to stay in hazardous buildings and to strictly follow the issued advisories.
