Vuda launches drive against illegal layouts

As part of its drive against illegal layouts in its jurisdiction, the Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority (Vuda) launched its special checking and raided various layouts in the city on April 15. Apart from identifying unauthorised layouts, the spcially appointed team started demolishing improper developments which have come up against statutory rules.

The team conducted raids on illegal layouts in Anakapalle and Achyuthapuram mandals and removed roads, boundary pillars and plotting stones, taking the help of the village secretary. JCB and tractors were engaged to displace boundaries and physical structures.
