BDA to raze illegal structures in implosion method soon
implosion method soon to demolish the illegal structures in the city.
The method will be used for the first time in the city which will speed
up the demolition work, BDA official sources said.
Indore-based explosion expert SB Sarwate has demonstrated his
techniques before the BDA officials and assured that their demolition
method would bring no harm to authorised parts nearby. Sarwate has
already used the method to demolish over 200 buildings in Maharashtra,
Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Rajasthan by using detonator,
sources said.
Recently, BDA vice-chairman Vishal Dev had written a letter to Twin
City Police Commissioner Dr R P Sharma seeking permission for using
explosives to demolish the structure. The Police Commissioner had given
some conditions after viewing the presentations and videos of Sarwate’s
demolition method.
After getting permission from the police, the BDA will go for another
safety and explosive related permissions from concerned authorities to
use the method, the BDA sources said.
Notably, the BDA has received orders to raze over 5,600 illegal
structures including more than 1,000 major units in the city. “If it
uses old methods, it will take years to complete the process,” said a
BDA official.
