The Bombay High Court on Monday asked the Maharashtra government and BMC to come up with a permanent solution to protect Versova beach from illegal 
encroachments.


A division bench of Justice Amjad Sayed and Justice Abhay Ahuja was hearing a public interest litigation filed by Ameet Satam, BJP MLA from Andheri west constituency, through advocate Prahlad Paranjape, raising concerns over drug peddling and prostitution at the beachfront.


The plea sought directions to the state government, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and police for maintenance and upkeep of the beach as well as 24x7 surveillance for security.


“These illegal structures breed graver problems such as drug peddling and prostitution in the shanties at night and in the area around the beach making the beach unsafe for common citizens,” the petition said.
