BEST serves notice on SRA building

The best undertaking has issued a show-cause notice to a SRA building at Worli which,according to the naval authorities,is a security threat as there are sensitive installations in the vicinity.

The naval authorities got an earful from the HC on Monday for its casual approach towards national security. The court had earlier sought the views of the naval authorities as well as the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) in a petition moved by a Worli-resident against BEST for disconnecting power supply to the 18-storey building in which she stays.

The building,Har Siddhi Heights, built by SRA is near the naval base,INS Trata. However,The BEST has agreed to supply power till further orders. The case has been adjourned till Friday.
