Action was taken against three buildings in Model Town Extension and one in Model Town Gol Market, as they were in violation of building bylaws. The illegal portions of these buildings have been razed.
Superintending engineer-cum-municipal town planner (MTP) Sanjay Kanwar said that during routine field inspections, it was found that the buildings were being constructed illegally.
Following this, the demolition drive was organised on the directions of MC commissioner Shena Aggarwal and illegal portions of the buildings were razed on Thursday.
Kanwar further said that regular action is being taken against illegal constructions and the drive will continue in the coming days. The residents are urged to get the building plans approved from the civic body and construct the buildings as per the norms, otherwise strict action will be taken against them he said.
