Civic authorities to demolish 51 unauthorised buildings in Kalyan-Dombivili limits
Meanwhile, a civic body in Maharashtra's Thane district will demolish 51 buildings constructed using forged and fake documents, an official said on Monday, reported the PTI.
The civic body's action has come following a court's directive to clear the illegal structures built using fabricated documents in the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) limits, the official said, according to the PTI.
A senior KDMC official had earlier said that an inquiry was initiated after complaints were received regarding alleged irregularities by developers.
The official had further said that a verification drive had revealed that 65 residential and commercial structures were constructed in Kalyan-Dombivli allegedly based on fake and forged documents.
He had said that at least 57 unauthorised structures fell in the KDMC's jurisdiction, and the civic body has already demolished as many as six structures so far. Further action by the civic body was underway.
The move will affect nearly 9,000 residents, it was stated, the news agency had reported.
