Illegal houses demolished at Naidu Nagar

Mysore/Mysuru: Four houses that were being constructed illegally on Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) sites were demolished by MUDA officials at R.S. Naidu Nagar in city yesterday morning.

MUDA had acquired 2.06 acre land in Survey No. 152/2A of Belavatha village behind Naidu Nagar Bus Stand in 2000 and had constructed a residential layout. MUDA had distributed sites to beneficiaries at the layout. But a few vested interests had trespassed into the layout and were constructing houses on four vacant sites illegally. MUDA Commissioner G.T. Dinesh Kumar, who came to know about the illegal constructions, issued an order for demolition of these illegal structures.

Armed with the demolition order, MUDA officials, who reached the spot along with an earth excavating machine at about 6 am yesterday morning, demolished the under construction structures under Police security and reclaimed the sites worth about Rs. 1 crore.

MUDA Superintending Engineer Channakeshava, Executive Engineer Dharmendra, Assistant Executive Engineers H.P. Shivanna, Kiran, Harsha, Mohan Kumar and Srinivas, Junior Engineers and staff took part in the demolition drive.
