Highlights critical urban safety enforcement and regulatory accountability following a public tragedy.
Days after the collapse of a multi-storey building in Kondapur that killed two people , the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) has ordered the demolition of certain unauthorised under-construction buildings as part of an intensified enforcement drive. The Town Planning and enforcement teams have been directed to identify violations based on plot size, construction height and building permissions.
The CMC Commissioner G. Srijana has instructed officials to identify buildings on plots measuring below 75 square yards where construction exceeds seven metres in height. Buildings on plots measuring above 75 square yards that are being constructed without any building permission will also be identified, irrespective of the height of the construction.
All under-construction buildings falling under these two categories will be taken up for demolition through enforcement drives, the CMC said.
