Delhi Corporation demolishes illegal portions of 11 properties

Acting against unauthorised constructions, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) today demolished illegal portions of 11 properties in the capital.

Action was taken against five properties in Rohini Zone and six in Central Zone. "The drive was carried out by the building department with the help of police despite resistance from the public," an official said.

The areas where the drive was undertaken include TriNagar, Rani Bagh, Mangolpuri Industrial Area, Tughlakabad Extension and Vishvakarama Colony.

The MCD started acting tough against unauthorised constructions after a building with illegal floors collapsed in east Delhi in November last year killing 71 people.
