Illegally constructed houses on Ujjain's Mahakal Road razed

Ujjain: The Ujjain Development Authority (UDA) demolished five houses constructed illegally on two plots on Mahakal Road near Begumbagh Harifatak Bridge on Friday with heavy police deployment. The plots were illegally divided and sold to multiple buyers, leading to the cancellation of leases back in 2014, said the officials. Early on Friday, a team from the development authority, municipal corporation and administrative officials arrived with bulldozers, accompanied by a heavy police presence. As the news spread, people began to gather and protested the action. The protestors bloacked the road and the route from Harifatak Bridge to Mahakal and Patni Bazaar was closed. Later, City Qazi Khalikurrahman arrived and informed the crowd about the court's order, after which the residents ended their protest. UDA CEO Sandeep Soni said, "The action was part of a pre-approved UDA plan. Approximately six years ago, the UDA board canceled the leases of 28 properties due to violations. These leases expired in 2014, and commercial constructions were made on residential land. In Sept 2024, the UDA issued a final order to remove the encroachments, which was challenged in court. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm With the high court lifting the stay, the demolition of five houses on two plots was carried out."
