Illegal buildings razed in Mundhwa, Hadapsar
razed illegal constructions measuring over 11,000 sq ft in Mundhwa and
Hadapsar areas on Friday, said a statement issued by the civic body.
“The illegal sheds, side margins of various hotels
and banks were removed during the drive. About a month ago, the civic
administration had served notices to the owners saying that the
constructions were unauthorized. They were asked to demolish the illegal
constructions but they failed to take notice. Hence, the civic body and
the police razed the structures,” a senior civic official said.
About 20 police officials and 15 workers participated in the drive. JCB
machines, gas cutters and other equipment were engaged to pull down the
structures.
In April, the civic administration had taken
action against the multi-storey apartment where illegal sheds and
concrete houses in the slum pockets of Shivajinagar, Kasba Peth,
Wadgaonsheri, Ambegaon, Kothrud, Katraj, NIBM Road and Pashan were
demolished during the drive.
