JAIPUR: The enforcement team of Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) on Monday issued nearly 50 notices against illegal construction in the catchment area of Amanishah Nullah.

"Officials have been directed to issue notices to non-residential construction in the catchment area of the nullah," said Jaipur Development Commissioner Kuldeep Ranka.

The owners have been given some time to reply to the notices. On failing to do so, the illegal construction will be razed by the authority. According to an official, a team left for New Delhi on Monday to handover a notice to the owner of Mansarovar Heritage Inn which has constructed an apartment on the catchment area. "We have given a week's time to the firm to reply to the notice," he said.

For finalizing the alignment of Amanishah Nullah, JDA will construct pillars and demarcate the boundaries. "Maps have been finalized for final demarcation for a 9-km stretch, while work on another 14km is underway," an official said.

The official claimed that the nullah will be made approximately 210 feet wide, and a centerline will be determined for it. Currently, the flow area of nallah is approximately 130 feet.
