Mumbai's Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has ordered a theatre group to vacate a parking facility at Vastu Central Building in Dadar, a site that has been unused for motor vehicles since June 2023.

The BMC's decision to terminate the theatre organization's use of the facility stems from a directive issued on October 29, 2026, warning of punitive action for non-compliance. The Mumbai resident Anil Galgali, an RTI activist, criticized the prolonged occupation of the premises, stating that municipal parking spaces are intended for vehicles, not theatrical storage.
