Thane Municipal Corporation Cracks Down on Illegal Constructions
Imagine the city is like a big building, and some people build extra rooms without permission.
The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) is like the building's manager, making sure everything is built correctly.
The TMC found many of these extra, unapproved rooms and tore them down.
They also made people who built these extra rooms face legal actions.
The TMC is now using QR codes to show everyone which buildings are okay to build.
The TMC wants to make sure the city is safe and that everything is built according to the rules.
This is being done to avoid problems that these illegal structures can cause.
Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) registered 50 FIRs and demolished 264 illegal structures.
The crackdown was initiated after a High Court directive.
Regular inspections are being conducted in Diva and Mumbra.
QR codes are being used to promote transparency in authorized construction sites.
Municipal Commissioner Saurabh Rao is overseeing the operation.
