Demolition drive steamrolls amid protests by residents

Jalandhar | Sunday | 17th June, 2018

Summary:

Teams of the Municipal Corporation razed illegally constructed shops in the Doaba market near the Jalandhar bus stand. Khaira demanded that either MLA Rinku should be booked under the same sections slapped against Bains or the FIR against Bains should be withdrawn. While the same site was among the ones visited by Sidhu on his high-on-action tour on Friday, the demolition today was also not totally without opposition. Meanwhile, murmurs from the other parties have been going on against Sidhu's drive in the first place. Meanwhile, MC Commissioner Basant Garg confirmed that the demolition of all the buildings visited by Sidhu and the additional ones identified as illegal shall continue as per norms by the Municipal Corporation..
