MC, GMADA swing into action day before appearance in court
The drive was initiated in residential and commercial areas in the aforementioned phases. Earlier this month, the Punjab and Haryana high court had summoned GMADA chief administrator Amandeep Bansal and municipal corporation commissioner Navjot Kaur on charges of contempt of court.
A day before top officials were scheduled to appear in the Punjab and Haryana high court, a joint team of the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) and Mohali municipal Corporation, Mohali on Wednesday initiated a demolition drive in Phase 9 and 10.
The drive was initiated in residential and commercial areas in the aforementioned phases. Earlier this month, the Punjab and Haryana high court had summoned GMADA chief administrator Amandeep Bansal and municipal corporation commissioner Navjot Kaur on charges of contempt of court.
In September 2020, the court had asked the MC and GMADA to immediately remove encroachments on public paths, footpaths, open spaces, parks, corridors, streets and roads within the municipal limits. The court slammed the authorities for not getting the encroachments by influential persons removed.
A MC officer said that the drive would continue and take place across Mohali.
