One of them was being constructed on the BRS Nagar main road while the other was being constructed near Sunet railway crossing.

An official from the MC Zone D office, who didn’t wish to be named, said they also received a complaint that the building near the railway crossing was being constructed by encroaching upon a portion of a park. Officials will check the record in this regard and take appropriate action, he said.

According to the building branch official, the action is being taken against illegal constructions on a regular basis working on the directions of the MC commissioner. “Residents should start construction works only after getting their building plans approved from the civic body,” he added.
