The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has served a notice to the Borivli-based Sheth Gopalji Hemraj High School and Junior College, popularly known as GH school, for turning a playground into a turf. Last year, in October, the civic body issued a stop-work notice under Section 354(A) of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act to the school management. The latter replied to it on November 6, stating that the changes were only meant for students` physical and mental activities.

After receiving the response, the BMC issued speaking orders the same month categorically mentioning that the reply did not convince it and that the educational institute should remove unauthorised construction within 24 hours. The R Central ward office of the BMC confirmed the development, but when mid-day reached out to the school authorities last week, they refused to speak on the subject.
