Officials said the buildings were being constructed in violation of the building by-laws and without getting required permissions from the department.

Assistant town planner (ATP), MC Zone D, MS Bedi said the illegal activities came to fore during field inspections by the building inspectors and notices were served to the violators in the past. After their failure to stop the construction, action was taken and the buildings were demolished.

Notably, a large number of illegal constructions were witnessed in the city during the elections. Action against the violators was delayed as a majority of the staff was busy in election duty. The MC commenced a drive against the illegal constructions after polling was held on February 20.
