The Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority (MDDA) demolished illegal plotting spread across nearly 60 bighas at 5 locations in the Doiwala area on Monday. The authority also sealed 2 establishments at Maggi Point and Purukul Road for construction carried out in violation of rules.
The operation covered Ghissarpatti, Bullawalla Marg, Kudkawala and Kamboj Colony, among the 5 locations identified by the authority. MDDA teams acted against land development that had been carried out without compliance with applicable planning rules.
Locations covered in the action
At Ghissarpatti, plotting being undertaken across nearly 15 bighas by 2 people was demolished. Officials also took action against plotting spread over 10 bighas along Bullawalla Marg.
Further demolition was carried out against illegal plotting developed across 5 bighas in Bhagat Singh Colony. In Kamboj Colony, the authority demolished illegal plotting spread over 30 bighas.
The action comes alongside separate sealing measures at Maggi Point and Purukul Road. MDDA said the 2 establishments were sealed because their construction did not conform to the rules.
Enforcement to continue
MDDA vice-chairman Banshidhar Tiwari has directed officials to continue the campaign against illegal plotting and unauthorised construction across all sectors.
Authority secretary Mohan Singh Barnia said action would continue against people found violating the rules. He said complaints and inspections would guide further demolition and sealing operations.
The latest operation therefore combines action against unauthorised land subdivision with measures against construction violations. Officials have indicated that the campaign is not limited to Monday’s drive.
Conclusion
MDDA demolished illegal plotting across nearly 60 bighas at 5 Doiwala locations and sealed 2 establishments for rule violations. The authority has directed teams to continue demolition and sealing action based on complaints and inspections.
