Mangalore, Jun 17 (The Hindu): Officials of the Mangalore City Corporation demolished a structure built on the setback area of a commercial building on Kankanady-Mahaveera Circle Road.

An earthmover pulled down the structure on Wednesday amid tight police security.

 

Commissioner of the corporation K.N. Vijayaprakash, who supervised the operation, told presspersons that the structure had been built by one R.M. Asif.

‘Against the rules'

“Nobody is authorised to build any structure on the setback area. It is against rules and regulations. In addition, a borewell had been drilled there,” the Commissioner said.

Town Planning Officer Balakrishna Gowda said that the structure was being used as a ‘shishu vihar' (crèche) without the permission of the corporation. He said that officials had orally warned the person concerned against building the structure.

There was no resistance from anybody while demolishing the structure.

A man who introduced himself as Anil said that the building belonged to one M. Abul Hameed who lives in Dubai. He (Mr. Anil) was looking after the building for him.

Mr. Anil claimed that the civic body had not sent any notice regarding the demolition.

Mr. Gowda said that there was no need to send any written notice as the structure had been built illegally.

    Am a resident of Sheetal Apartments in Maria Nagar. There is a clear cug violation of the building permit. The area alloted to parking has been utilised to construct 2 extra flats. When approached to the then commissioner, he informed that demolition should be done by other flat owners. Hope the same present rule was prevailing then ?
    Am at dismay the changes now taking place and the action is instant. Congratulations to the commissioner for his daring work.

    Dear Mr. Lancy,

    I really appreciate your analysis. It is the right one.

    How could Palemar and others not object to demolishing of illegal structures when they and their associates are parties in the construction of these illegal structures.

    I appreciate the effort put in by the Commissioner of the corporation K.N. Vijayaprakash and his team in demolishing the illegal structures. We the people will support you fully in doing the right thing.

    It is a good move to demolish illegal structures built in set back area, parking lots and in violation of licence and plan of the City Corporation. However what we observe that this has been carried out on a slective basis. Some months ago we have heard of demolishen of a illegal straircase of a Building near Mahaveer circle and construction in parking lot at Balmatta.

    During the tenur of Samir shukla as commissisoner of city corporation, he issued notices to 200 builders for the AKARAMA including to City Centre. He was unceremoniously transfered at the behest of the District Minister and other interested parties close to him.

    During the recent visit of Suresh Kumar, Law and Urban Development Minister, Karanataka he observed lot of irregularities in the construction of buildings incliding unathorised constrcition in the parking lots of such buildings. He asked the Commissioner to issue notices to all the AKRAMA BUILDERS. However krishna Palemar, Yogish Bhat and Mayor objected to such move. Palemar has suggested to make all these AKRAMAS as SAKARAMA by collecting penalty and construct parking lot at old bus stand area.Whose interest these people are protecting. The people who are LAW MAKERS are advising the people to break the law with the asurance that the AKRAMA will become SAKARAMA IN ONE FORM OR THE OTHER.

    Law abiding citizens have no place in the society. If you have money, power and backing of these God Fathers, you can do anything and get out of it.

    Well done, Mr.Vijayprakash. Wish you all the success.
    The iilegal encrochment will always will lead for several illegal activities. Tomorrow any illicit activities will take place and the person will runaway, because it was illegal.

    Mr.Commissioner, please note there are further auto workshop activities on this street also functioning on the set back area.

    Kindly look into.
    We the resident of this lane proudly appreciate your action, we look forward to your cooperation

    Best regards
