On the directions of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, officials of the Municipal Town Planning wing of the Municipal Corporation initiated action against illegal structures around the Golden Temple in Amritsar on Wednesday.
A joint team of Municipal Corporation, Amritsar, and Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) disconnected water and power connections of illegal hotels around the Golden Temple.
However, they were ill-prepared as they did not have relevant documents. They visited 25 commercial establishments, including hotels, guest houses and shops around the shrine, but disconnected only nine water and 17 power connections.
