City corporation, police stop illegal construction
The City Corporation and Vanchiyoor police on Thursday stopped an
illegal construction over the compound wall of the General Post Office
(GPO) building at Pulimoodu Junction.
“When some employees who
found a massive construction during the pooja holidays, they organised a
protest,” said the Senior Superintendent of Post Offices North
Division, A Rema Devi.
The Assistant Executive Engineer of City
Corporation, Ansar J, admitted that the construction deviated from the
plan that the shop owner had submitted to the Corporation. “We had
sanctioned the permit for the building with a setback of 1.5 metres from
the boundary wall, which has been violated here,” said Ansar.
Vanchiyoor
sub-inspector Suresh Babu also said that the construction was illegal.
Corporation officials have decided to conduct a hearing on the issue on
October 23.
