Ludhiana: Illegal structures razed in Durga Colony

Residents should commence the construction works only after getting the building plans approved from the civic body, otherwise strict action would be taken against illegal constructions, say officials

The municipal corporation (MC) demolished an under construction illegal colony in Durga colony area falling under Zone B on Friday. The action was taken on the directions of MC commissioner Neeru Katyal Gupta, officials said.
