SRINAGAR: A demolition drive was conducted by the Lakes and Waterways Development Authority under the supervision of Enforcement Officer in the area of Arabal, Shalimar and Harwan in which two houses including one 2nd storey and 02 shops were partially demolished, here today.
Though the demolition squad faced resistance from the mob, which gathered on the occasion, the illegally constructed structures were razed successfully with the help of polce force.
It is pertinent to mention here that amid Covid-19 lockdown some miscreants are taking undue advantage of the situation and indulge in illegal constructions.
The people residing within the LDA jurisdiction have asked to desist from such illegal constructions, as the Enforcement Wing will continue demolition of illegal constructions.
Moreover, the Tripper/Load carrier owners have been directed not to carry any type of illegal construction material in the prohibited area of Dal and Nigeen Lakes without prior and proper permission from the concerned agencies.
