At Chitaguppi Park off Club Road, the Deputy Commissioner ordered for removal of the gate of Classic Enclave Apartment leading to the cellar, which was kept locked. The residents of the apartment complained to the authorities that the cellar was being used for commercial purposes and they were not being allowed to park their vehicles.

Mr. Cholan ordered for removal of the encroached structures and make space available for parking. He also directed the concerned team-heads to take steps to measure the adjoining building ‘Ahalya Plaza’ and take up clearance of encroachments.

He then visited Deshpande Nagar, where encroachments in Liberty Arcade, that houses a hospital, were being removed.

At Sheelavantara Oni, the Deputy Commissioner ordered for issue of notice to the owners of KM Residence, for not having cleared the debris to make space available for parking. In the same street, the demolition of the shops in cellar of MK Complex to make 448.96 sq.mtr space available for parking was initiated on Tuesday.
