RS Bhath, district town planner, enforcement, said that an illegal guest house was sealed in Ardee City as it was operating in violation of rules. “Last week also, two guest houses were sealed and this drive will continue in the coming days,” he said, adding that excess construction was also removed from a house in Ardee City.

Officials also visited three houses in Sushant Lok, where owners had complained of cracks developing in their houses due to constructions in adjacent buildings. A team of enforcement wing officials that conducted the inspection were responding to complaints lodged by residents at the CM Window.

“Although this is a bilateral matter, we decided that a construction audit of these structures should be carried out by structural engineers so that corrective action can be taken. A report is being sought in this matter,” said Ashish Sharma, assistant town planner, who was part of the team.
