Court Orders Action on Illegal High-Rises in Darjeeling

Court Orders Action on Illegal High-Rises in Darjeeling

The court is making sure Darjeeling is following the rules about how tall buildings can be.

Someone complained that a building was built too high, breaking the rules.

The old head of the town government says they're not dealing with it correctly.

The court has told the local government to fix the problem by a certain date.

It's all about making sure buildings don't go over the allowed height.

They've tried to stop illegal buildings before but the court has stopped them.

Some people think too many tall buildings are making Darjeeling look like a concrete jungle.
