MCD Cracks Down on Illegal Buildings with 36 Demolitions
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi carried out 36 demolition actions across 12 zones to crack down on unauthorised constructions and dangerous buildings.
In a massive crackdown on illegal structures, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) carried out an intensive enforcement drive across the national capital, resulting in 36 demolition actions in a single day. The operation, aimed at eliminating unauthorised constructions and dangerous buildings, spanned across all 12 zones of the city to ensure strict compliance with the Master Plan of Delhi (MPD) and building bye-laws.
Widespread Action Across 12 Zones
The enforcement exercise was not limited to a single locality but was a coordinated effort across the entire jurisdiction of the Corporation. During the drive, the MCD successfully executed demolitions in several key areas, including:
- Motia Khan
- Paharganj
- Baljeet Nagar
- Ranjeet Nagar
- Mukundpur
- Shakurpur
- Sahyog Apartment
Beyond the demolitions, the Corporation also took significant steps to penalize violators. According to official reports, 2 properties were sealed, and 3 demolition orders were formally issued as the MCD identified further violations of the established building norms.
Ongoing Battle Against Unauthorised Construction
This massive operation follows an equally aggressive stance taken by the municipal body just a day prior. During yesterday's enforcement exercise, the MCD demolished 33 properties and sealed 12 others for violating the MPD and Building Bye-Laws. This indicates a sustained and large-scale effort by the authorities to clean up the city's urban landscape.
The MCD has sent a clear message to developers and homeowners: unauthorised construction and violations of building norms will not be tolerated within its jurisdiction.
Focus on Public Safety
The primary objective of these actions is to safeguard public safety by removing dangerous buildings and structures that pose a risk to residents. The Corporation has instructed field officials to maintain constant vigil and to take immediate action against any identified violations in accordance with the applicable provisions of the MPD and other relevant regulations.
The Corporation has made it evident that this enforcement drive is far from over. The crackdown against illegal structures and dangerous buildings is expected to continue as part of the city's ongoing commitment to urban safety and legal compliance.
