LUDHIANA: In an ongoing effort against unauthorized development, the municipal corporation (MC) building branch took down nine illegal structures in the Lohara area on Wednesday.

The enforcement drive, focused on Zone C, led to the demolition of five under-construction shops and four residential buildings in Kunti Nagar. Officials stated that this action came after MC commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal issued a direct order, as property owners neglected multiple warnings to cease work.

Zero Tolerance Policy

The demolitions are part of a larger initiative by the civic body to manage unregulated growth. Recently, Commissioner Dachalwal instructed inspectors to provide signed certificates confirming that no unauthorized construction or “challan-free” buildings exist in their areas.

To ensure accountability within the department, the commissioner indicated that a rechecking process would be initiated. Any inconsistencies between official reports and actual conditions would result in disciplinary action against the officials involved.

Public Advisory

After the Lohara operation, officials sent a strong warning to residents and developers. No construction should proceed without an MC-approved building plan. The crackdown on illegal colonies and structures will continue across all zones in the following days.

Non-compliance with building regulations will lead to immediate demolition and potential legal consequences. “The campaign against illegal constructions will go on,” stated a civic body spokesperson. “We urge residents to follow legal procedures to avoid financial setbacks during these enforcement actions.”
