Ajay Singh Tomar, Commissioner, MCYJ, said they had been getting complaints that buildings were being constructed illegally in several areas of the twin cities without getting the building plan passed from the Municipal Corporation.

He said a team was formed, which visited several areas and found that 12 buildings were being constructed in violation of rules and regulations of the Municipal Corporation.

“The team visited the sites of these 12 buildings. But, the owners of these buildings failed to produce the building plans passed by the Municipal Corporation and other documents,” said Tomar.

He said the owners of the nine under-construction buildings of the 12 buildings were issued first notices to get the building map passed and to complete the other required documents, but they failed to do so.

“Our team again inspected the sites of all 12 said buildings and found that the construction work of the said buildings was not stopped. Thereafter, the owners of the nine buildings were issued second notices and the owners of the remaining three buildings were given first notice,” said Ajay Singh Tomar.

He said if the owners of the said buildings failed to get the building map passed and complete the other required documents in seven days, the process of the sealing and demolition would be started in near future.
