Karnal, July 16 The Tribune had today reported in its news-item “SP to get notice on illegal construction in library” highlighting the illegal construction work on the library premises to extend the existing building without having got sanctioned the building plan/design from the MC. A senior official of the MC, while confirming that they had received the building plan/design of the library, told The Tribune that this application would be discussed in the forthcoming meeting of the MC slated for July 20. In reply to a question, the official further said that the SP had been asked to stop the construction work on the library premises till the building plan/design was approved by the MC. However, when this correspondent visited the library site on Saturday, the construction work was still going on. The labour force in the construction work said that they had got no instruction from the authorities concerned to stop the construction work. Instead, instructions had been given to speed up the work and complete it as soon as possible, they added. Earlier, Mr Hans Raj, Inspector (building) of the MC, had visited the library site on Friday evening and submitted a report to senior officials that illegal construction work was going on in the library premises in the police lines at a rapid pace. Further, investigations made by The Tribune revealed that the house tax applicable on the old library building as per the existing rules had not been assessed by the MC authorities ever since it was established a few years ago.
