CMC told to remove illegal buildings
Upa Lokayukta Subhash B. Adi has warned the Tumkur City
Municipal Commissioner that action will be taken against him if he fails
to remove illegally constructed buildings in Tumkur within 15 days.
At
a grievance meeting here on Thursday, Mr. Adi directed the commissioner
to take action against those who had constructed buildings in violation
of plan and also those who have not obtained approval for construction
from the Tumkur Development Authority.
List
He
then directed him to give a list of illegal buildings in Tumkur city.
He said that the election code of conduct will not come in the way of
taking action against illegal buildings. He said that unnecessary delay
in taking action against illegal structures only meant that the
government lost its land.
Complaints
He
heard complaints related to the Tumkur City Municipal Council, the
Revenue Department, the Tumkur Development Authority, among other
departments.
Deputy Commissioner K.S. Sathya Murthy and Tumkur Zilla Panchayat Chief Executive Officer Govindaraju were present.
