GBA disconnects electricity to commercial building at Domlur in crackdown on setback violation in Bengaluru

Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) Chief Commissioner M. Maheshwar Rao on Tuesday directed Central City Corporation officials to issue a notice to a building under construction near Domlur for failing to leave the mandatory setback. He also ordered officials to initiate removal action after serving the notice.

The Commissioner inspected various locations under the Bengaluru Central City Corporation, during which he observed that the building was being constructed after demolishing an old structure without leaving setbacks on all four sides.

At the same location, he also noticed a commercial building constructed without a setback and instructed officials to disconnect its electricity connection immediately.

Mr. Rao also directed officials to examine the possibility of developing a vending zone or parking facility on the wide footpath along Domlur Main Road. He instructed officials to remove walls obstructing pedestrian movement and develop a clear pedestrian pathway.
