The Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation has termed the Telugu Desam Party office building near Seven Hills Hospital ‘unauthorised’ and threatened to demolish it if satisfactory explanation is not given within seven days. The development comes close on the heels of demolition of the Praja Vedika at Undavalli. The notice dated June 28 was served on the party at the building located at Ward No 19. It was addressed to the city unit president.
The Town Planning Department, Zone -III, GVMC, issued provisional notice under Section 452 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act-1955 and Section 7 of the Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation Act, 1979. The officials mentioned that it was brought to their notice that the building constructed without submitting link documents.
As per the notice, building approval plan had been kept on hold as the TDP office-bearers, who were respondents concerned, did not produce proper link documents to establish title over the property. The officials pointed out that the link documents were to be conveyed from Rani Kamala Devi, but till date there had been no reply from the TDP office-bearers.
