He further appealed the citizens that don’t indulge in commercial and residential constructions without the approved plan as such illegal constructions will be sealed or demolished at the owners risk. Further, the new VC has appealed citizens to apprise the JDA authorities in case if any employee of enforcement or BOCA team from JDA indulge in encouraging illegal constructions without approved permission.
It’s worth to mention here that prior to arrival of Pankaj Magotra as VC JDA, large number of commercial buildings were constructed by wilful violators in Chowadhi, Birpur, Vijaypur near Toll Plaza, Bishnah, Jagti, Sidhara and Bantalab area. These illegal constructions were constructed in broadday light right under the nose of BOCA teams of JDA allegedly due to large scale corruption in shielding these illegal constructions.
