Apart from this, the KMC has also formed a ‘central demolition squad’ to look into the matters of illegal construction. According to sources, the step has been taken following complaints about promoters allegedly posing a hurdle while taking the necessary steps for demolition of illegal structures. As informed by sources, such complaints are said to have been reported by some of the engineers of the civic body. The central demolition squad would act promptly in coordination with the police to pull down illegal structures.
As learnt from sources, mayor Firhad Hakim, himself has decided to visit some of the stretches in the Port area after Eid.
