Resident raises questions over MC demolition drive

Ludhiana, December 2

Raising questions over MC’s demolition drive held at Raghunath Enclave on Thursday morning, a man claimed that it was his ancestral property, not any encroachment. He said the MC today demolished the residential building and damaged articles inside it. He also alleged that it seems the MC wants to benefit some land mafia by taking this action.

MC officials in the presence of a heavy police force carried out the demolition drive. The civic body officials, however, denied the allegations.

ATP MS Bedi said as per the layout plan of Raghunath Enclave, the land was marked as a park. He said residents had complained to the civic body against the ‘encroachment’ after which the MC took action today. — TNS
