RS Bhath, district town planner, enforcement, said a team carried out a detailed survey while acting on a complaint which stated that the owner of a house in DLF Phase 2 had constructed many additions to the building after obtaining the occupation certificate. “The team found that the owner of the house had made many illegal constructions in the stilt area, and filled the setbacks (a plain, flat offset in a wall) and cutouts as well. This is a gross violation of the building plan and also these additions were carried out after obtaining occupation certificate. We have sealed unoccupied three floors of the house and lodged a complaint with police. They have registered a case in the matter,” he said.
