GVMC to pull down 105 buildings

Staff Reporter

About 105 buildings in most dilapidated condition will be demolished by the GVMC. GVMC has the powers to demolish dilapidated buildings under Section 456 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act. Though 516 buildings have been identified as dangerous, so far only six were pulled down. Municipal Commissioner M.V. Satyanarayana on Tuesday ordered that the 105 most dangerous buildings be demolished after issuing a final notice asking the owners of these buildings to cooperate.

If they do not come forward within the time given, officials should act and recover the cost for demolition from the owners.
