Ludhiana MC razes 19 illegal structures
Continuing its drive against illegal constructions, Municipal Corporation (MC) teams demolished 19 illegal constructions in various parts of the city today.
The building branch team of the MC Zone-C also sealed around 12 vacant houses and an office in an illegal colony as the coloniser did not pay the regularisation fee to the civic body.
The drive against illegal construction was carried out on the directions of MC Commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal. Illegal constructions are being carried out in Dhandari, Kanganwal and Madhopuri areas, which fall under Zone B and C of the MC.
Assistant Town Planner (ATP Zone-C) Jagdeep Singh said the building branch teams demolished 13 illegal shops, two commercial halls and a labour quarter in Dhandari and Kanganwal areas. Around 12 vacant houses and an office were also sealed in an illegal colony.
ATP Zone B Davinder Singh said the team, led by Building Inspectors Kirandeep Singh and Randhir Singh, demolished illegal portions of three under-construction commercial buildings in the Madhopuri area. The civic body had received a complaint regarding the illegal constructions.
Stating that regular drives would be organised against illegal constructions, MC Commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal appealed to residents to start construction works only after getting the building plan approved from the civic body.
