Elante Mall Faces Demolition Drive Over Building Plan Violations
Imagine a big shopping mall built according to a special set of rules.
A team from the city checked the mall and found that some parts were not built according to these rules.
They discovered that a large area meant for parking cars was turned into a garden without permission.
The city team first asked the mall owners why this happened.
After talking, they decided that the parts built incorrectly had to be removed.
So, workers went to the mall and took down these unapproved structures.
This was done to make sure the mall followed all the building rules that were agreed upon.
A demolition drive was conducted at Elante Mall by the Estate Office.
The drive aimed to rectify violations against sanctioned building plans.
Approximately 22,000 sq ft of parking area was converted to landscaping/greenery without approval.
Violations were detected during an inspection on August 8, 2025.
Demolition and sealing operations were executed on November 2, 2025, after show-cause notices and hearings.
