Ludhiana, August 30

Taking action against illegal constructions, the Municipal Corporation (MC) demolished an illegal colony in the Sherpur area and removed four permanent encroachments on the road portion in Ghora Colony on Friday.

Building branch officials said they had received a complaint against the construction of the illegal colony, following which a demolition drive was carried out on the directions of MC Commissioner Sandeep Rishi.

Assistant Town Planner (ATP), Zone B, Davinder Singh, said there were around eight permanent encroachments in Ghora Colony but the drive was put to halt in between after rainfall hit the city. Four of the encroachments had been removed on Friday while the remaining will be removed in coming days.
