On Saturday, the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation (MC) took decisive action by demolishing three illegally constructed shops and an under-construction structure located beneath high-tension power lines on Barota Road. This demolition was executed by the building branch of MC Zone-C, emphasizing the city's commitment to safety and adherence to building regulations. Officials stated that the structures were erected without the necessary approvals and were in violation of municipal norms. Prior to the demolition, notices were issued to the owners, instructing them to cease construction activities. However, despite these warnings, the construction continued, leading the corporation to proceed with demolition. The MC highlighted that the structure's proximity to high-tension electricity wires posed a significant safety risk. This demolition follows a recent action in which the civic body removed encroachments from government land in the Lohara area. MC officials confirmed that similar actions against unauthorized constructions would persist, urging residents to obtain proper approvals before starting any construction to avoid strict penalties, including demolition.
