Amritsar, May 28

The Municipal Town Planning (MTP ) wing of the Amritsar Municipal Corporation partially demolished an under-construction hotel at Narian Gali near Golbagh on Friday.

A team led by Municipal Town Planner Narinder Sharma, Assistant Town Planner Parminderjeet and Building Inspector Paramjit Sing along with demolition staff and police personnel removed shuttering on the fourth floor of the hotel and partially demolished a few walls on the ground floor.

It’s pertinent to mention that the construction of the hotel was going on for the last several months by violating the building bylaws.

Earlier, the MTP wing had taken action and resorted to partial demolition, but failed to stop the construction.

Residents of the area filed several complaints against illegal buildings and alleged that the MC was not taking stern action due to political pressure.
