MCD Demolition Drive: 21 Actions Across Delhi Zones
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi conducted 21 demolition actions across all 12 zones to tackle 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 all 12 zones of the national capital on Thursday.
Strict Enforcement Against Unauthorised Constructions
The intensive operation was part of the civic body's ongoing mission to eliminate unauthorised constructions, address dangerous buildings, and penalize violations of the Master Plan of Delhi (MPD) and Building Bye-Laws. The drive aims to ensure public safety and strict compliance with established urban norms.
During the day's high-intensity exercise, the MCD not only carried out demolitions but also took further punitive measures, including:
- 21 demolition actions completed across the city.
- Four properties sealed for violating building norms.
- Four demolition orders issued against identified violations.
Major Hotspots Targeted
The enforcement teams were active across the entire jurisdiction, but significant demolition actions were recorded in several key areas, including:
- Raghubir Nagar
- Sant Nagar
- Gurmandi Rajpura
- Kalyan Vihar
Continued Vigilance and Future Actions
This Thursday's crackdown follows a similar massive operation on Wednesday, where the MCD carried out 27 demolition actions and sealed three properties. The Corporation has made it clear that the campaign is far from over.
Field officials have been placed on high alert and directed to maintain strict vigilance. The MCD reiterated its stance that no unauthorised construction or violation of building norms will be tolerated within its jurisdiction. The ongoing enforcement drive will continue across all 12 zones to mitigate risks posed by dangerous buildings and ensure the city adheres to the Master Plan of Delhi.
