BMC to amend devpt rules to allow temporary film, TV sets
Mumbai: Three years after an inquiry was initiated by the municipal commissioner into unauthorised construction of film studios at Madh, Marve, Erangal and Bhati in Malad, the BMC has proposed a key amendment to Mumbai's Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCPR) 2034.
This amendment aims to formally allow temporary sets for films, TV serials and advertisements.
The amendment, initiated under Section 37 (1) of the MRTP Act, 1966, seeks to modify Regulation 57 to include permission to temporary studios with prior approval from competent authorities. Citizens have one month from the publication of this notice to submit a feedback to the chief engineer (development plan), the BMC or the deputy director of town planning.
"The provision for permission for the construction of temporary sets for film/TV serials is not included in DCPR 2034.
However, on the other hand, the said UDCPR 2020 has a provision for such an activity," said the BMC in a notice published on May 16. UDCPR 2020 stands for Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations, 2020.
The civic body, in its notice, has cited the lack of clear regulations around such constructions on open plots, especially in no development zones and coastal regulation zone areas.

A 2019 BMC circular allowed temporary filming structures in open plots, but its misuse led to permissions being granted in CRZ areas, violating environmental norms, stated BMC's May 16 notice, which sought to invite public suggestions and objections to its proposed modifications.
"Based on this circular (2019), various permissions were issued on open plots situated in No Development Zone. The said practice led to granting permission even in CRZ-affected plots, which was considered a violation of the MCZMA & CRZ regulations. To avoid such irregularities and illegal activity, a committee was formed to review the circular for issuing permission to film studios in BMC jurisdiction." Permission can be granted for up to six months at a time and in aggregate not exceeding three years. When contacted, Development Plan department officials said the proposed amendment seeks to add a new category under Section 57 for temporary constructions. "Permissions will also generate revenue for the BMC," said an official. The BMC move comes days after the state govt held World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit (WAVES). Also, last month the CM announced a creative economy hub plan for Malad.

She was diagnosed with PCOS, earlier called PCOD, a hormonal issue that many young women face. The condition caused her to gain weight, develop facial hair, and suffer from acne. Talking about this difficult phase in her life, the 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' actress shared her story on Barkha Dutt's Mojo Story. She said, 'I had something called PCOS. They used to call it PCOD, but they've changed it now. Because of that, I had multiple hormonal issues. So, I put on weight when I was 16 years old, which is when you're supposed to be your 'prettiest'. I had facial hair, I broke out in acne, and I had people tell me, 'She's Anil Kapoor 's daughter'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรดทองCFDs กับโบรกเกอร์ที่เชื่อถือได้ | เรียนรู้เพิ่มเติม IC Markets สมัคร Undo I was traumatised.'
