Naya Gaon Civic Body Seals Illegal Building After Court Order
Imagine someone built a tall building without permission, which made a neighbor's home get damaged.
The city council found out it was built illegally.
The owner, Gurpreet Singh, didn't follow the rules.
The council had to step in.
They sent warnings and, when those didn't work, sealed the building.
This made the other people happy because it meant the city was taking action to stop illegal building and hoping the electricity department will take similar action against the violations of the building’s electricity load.
The people hope others will now follow the rules.
Naya Gaon Municipal Council sealed an 'illegal' building.
The action followed a petition alleging structural damage.
The Municipal Council admitted the building was unauthorized.
The owner, Gurpreet Singh, ignored building regulations and notices.
Residents see this as a landmark action against unchecked illegal constructions.
