23 Aug 2024 CW Team

The Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) has announced its decision to demolish a 10-story building constructed illegally in the region. The building, located in the Dombivli area, was erected without proper permissions and has been deemed unsafe by civic authorities.

The KDMC, which has been cracking down on unauthorised constructions, has taken a firm stance against such violations. According to officials, the building was constructed without the necessary approvals from the civic body, violating multiple municipal norms. The decision to demolish the structure is part of a broader initiative by the KDMC to address illegal constructions that pose risks to residents and compromise the city's infrastructure planning.

The demolition will be carried out after a thorough investigation, during which the building's owner failed to provide valid documentation or secure the required clearances. The KDMC has also issued warnings to other illegal constructions in the area, signalling that strict action will be taken against violators.

This move comes as the KDMC intensifies its efforts to enforce building regulations and ensure that all constructions in the city adhere to legal standards. Unauthorised buildings not only endanger lives but also strain public resources and disrupt urban planning.

Residents in the vicinity have been notified about the impending demolition to ensure safety and minimise disruptions. The KDMC?s action against this illegal building highlights its commitment to maintaining order and safety in the rapidly developing Kalyan-Dombivli area.
