Ludhiana: Acting on a complaint against illegal construction, civic authorities on Wednesday sealed a premises which should have had at least 10 shops. RTI activist Rohit Sabharwal had filed a complaint against under-construction shops on College Road.
In the complaint, Sabharwal had claimed that no parking space has been left in the building where the shops are being built. He had asked the officials to check whether the building owner had deposited the fee for change of land use (CLU). He claimed that the concerned officials of the building branch also failed to show any challan against the illegal construction work, claiming that as per the rules, the authorities should have demolished the illegal structures.
One of the officials claimed that they had received a complaint following which they took action in the matter. He claimed that the authorities decided to seal the premises as the violation of building bye-laws was visible on the ground.
This is not the first time that such a violation has come to the fore. In the past, similar structures have been built on many streets of the city. Due to such illegal activities, the traffic problem has become a major problem as very few buildings leave parking space on their premises. Many areas of the city have changed commercial Despite being residential as per approved plan.
It is worth noting that the case of illegal construction work remains in the headlines, but no action has been taken against the erring officials. No action was taken against the erring officials despite Additional Commissioner Rishipal Singh highlighting over 50,000 illegal buildings under the MC. Even after the recommendation of the charge sheet against the officials of the building branch, no action has been taken so far.
