Unregulated
construction work poses threat
CHANDIGARH July 6 — Haphazard construction
work in and around Zirakpur is posing a threat to
human life. At certain places, little attention
is being paid to safety norms. Though a notified
area committee (NAC) for the development of
Zirakpur and its surrounding villages has been
constituted, the absence of any regulatory
authority has caused concern among people. At
several places, houses and shops have been built
near power transmission lines. |
