MC demolishes illegal portions of over 12 buildings

Taking stern action against illegal buildings, the building branch of the Municipal Corporation (MC) demolished illegal portions of over a dozen buildings in different areas of the MC Zone C on Monday. The areas included Kanganwal, Jaspal Bangar and Giaspura, among others.

ATP (Zone C) Navneet Singh Khokhar stated that the action had been initiated on the directions of MC Commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal and the drive against illegal constructions would continue in the coming days, too.

ATP Khokhar said illegal portions of buildings, including houselines etc were demolished during the drive on Monday. A number of illegal buildings were demolished at the initial stage as the owners failed to get the building plans approved from the civic body,

he added.

Meanwhile, the building branch officials urged the public to get building plans approved from the civic body before commencing construction works, or face strict action against illegal constructions.
