"The properties were built illegally and thus sealed. Those that were demolished had built extensions without taking permission or by violating building rules," the official added.

With Wednesday's sealing, the building department of central zone has sealed/demolished a total of 65 properties in the last one week. A dozen more properties are expected to be sealed/demolished on Thursday.

The civic agency has been taking serious action on those violating rules since the Lalita Park collapse in October 2010 that killed over 70 people. "Building owners in the city continue with unauthorised constructions. The building mafia also fool people by selling houses that do not abide by the rules," said an official.
