Every monsoon season, the Town Planning wing identifies dilapidated buildings and demolishes them to avoid any untoward incidents. In this regard, GHMC issues prior notices to the



owners to vacate the premises and facilitate demolition of the structures. This year, 89 old buildings, which were partially damaged, were repaired by the owners.

Further, occupants were evacuated from structures which were in dangerous condition and beyond repairs and two buildings were seized and barricaded apart from displaying public caution notices at the structures.
