Ujjain: Ujjain Municipal Corporation (UMC)’s drive to remove shaky buildings remained continued on Friday also.
In early hours of morning, the UMC’s team reached at busy Satigate and Gopal Mandir areas and razed dilapidated buildings under police protection. The team razed the dilapidated upper portion of over one dozen shops located in Satigate area.
UMC officials told that Satigate area was the main route of Shahi Sawari of lord Mahakal and thousands of devotees stand very close to these buildings to take a glimpse of lord Mahakal.
Therefore the action has been taken for the safety of the human lives. The officials further told that the civic body had already issued notices to shaky building owners to remove them willingly, but no action had been taken by them.
‘Cooperate with admin’
Amid the removal of shaky building, municipal commissioner Pratibha Pal appealed denizens to extend cooperation with administration. She told the building owners to raze their building willingly. She also instructed the UMC officials to remove such construction without any further delay.
