Civic body in dock: Villagers challenge demolition

Chandigarh | Friday | 12th October, 2018

Summary:

We have been warning these property owners from time to time, telling them they were in a no-construction zone. She said: “I have also sought a copy of the Punjab and Haryana high court orders based on which the Zirakpur MC claims to have demolished nine structures. Confronted, the DC said: “This will be clear once we get detailed report of the buildings and the basis for demolition. If it is verified that the buildings were approved indeed by the MC, then under the Punjab Municipal Act, these cannot be called illegal. We had also asked them to produce legitimate papers, failing which they must face action.”.
