Ludhiana MC teams remove encroachments in Dugri

Municipal corporation (MC) teams on Monday demolished encroachments from portions along Dugri Road and issued 18 challans for violations of building bylaws.

The action came after MC Commissioner Ojasvi Alankar directed all field staff to remain active in their respective areas on a daily basis and issue challans on the spot.

The MC Commissioner appealed to the residents to obtain building plan approvals before commencing any construction. Owners of under-construction buildings were advised to prominently display a copy of the sanctioned building plan at construction sites.
