The drive covered Bajwa Nagar, Bahadurke Road, New Azad Nagar, Deep Vihar and adjoining areas. It was carried out on the directions of MC commissioner Damanjit Singh Mann.

Assistant town planner (ATP), Zone A, Nirwan said action was taken against the structures after their owners continued construction despite warnings and notices issued by the civic body.

The building branch has appealed to residents to obtain approval for building plans before undertaking construction and warned that unauthorised construction would invite strict action.

Nirwan said the enforcement drive against illegal constructions would continue in the coming days.
