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.
