MCD Cracks Down on Illegal Buildings: 21 Demolitions in Delhi Drive
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi carried out 21 demolition actions across 12 zones to crack down on unauthorised constructions and dangerous buildings.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has intensified its crackdown on illegal structures, executing a massive city-wide enforcement drive that saw 21 demolition actions across the capital. This aggressive move aims to dismantle unauthorised constructions and address dangerous buildings that violate the Master Plan of Delhi (MPD) and established Building Bye-Laws.
Massive Enforcement Across 12 Zones
The Corporation’s operation was not limited to a single area but spanned all 12 zones of Delhi, ensuring that building norms are strictly followed to safeguard public safety. During this intensive exercise, the MCD achieved the following:
- 21 demolition actions carried out to remove illegal structures.
- 4 properties sealed for non-compliance with regulations.
- 4 new demolition orders issued against violators.
This surge in enforcement follows a similar massive operation conducted just yesterday, where the MCD demolished 27 structures and sealed 3 properties, signaling a sustained and relentless campaign against building violations.
Major Hotspots Targeted
The demolition teams were active in several high-profile locations. Major enforcement actions were recorded in areas including:
- Raghubir Nagar
- Sant Nagar
- Gurmandi Rajpura
- Kalyan Vihar
Field officials have been placed on high alert and directed to maintain strict vigilance across the entire jurisdiction. The Corporation has made it clear that any construction that poses a risk to public safety or deviates from the Master Plan will be met with immediate action.
Zero Tolerance for Unauthorised Construction
The MCD has reiterated its stance that unauthorized constructions and violations of building norms will not be tolerated. The ongoing drive is part of a larger strategy to identify and remove dangerous buildings that could potentially collapse and harm residents. Officials have been instructed to act strictly in accordance with the provisions of the MPD and relevant Building Bye-Laws to ensure the city remains safe and compliant with urban planning standards.
