Indore Removes 17 Structures for 45-Metre Road

Indore Municipal Corporation has intensified its road-widening efforts along the Musakhedi Square–Sanwariya Dham Temple stretch in Zone 18, Ward 51.

The corporation removed more than 17 houses and shops that were obstructing the proposed road construction.

The road is being developed with a proposed width of 45 metres under the Indore Development Plan-2021.

According to Building Officer Tanmay Singh, notices had earlier been served to property owners whose constructions were coming in the way of the road-widening project.

However, as the obstructions were not removed despite the notices, the municipal removal team acted on Wednesday.

Using JCB machines, the civic team removed more than 17 houses and shops, besides demolishing partial structures of several other houses that fell within the road alignment.

The removal of these structures is expected to facilitate the smooth construction of the 45-metre-wide road.

In a similar incident, the IMC also removed illegal structures from the front portions of seven houses that were obstructing road-widening work on Badal-Ka-Bhatta Road near Banganga Main Road.

Building Officer Anand Raidas said road-widening work is underway on Badal-Ka-Bhatta Road.

As the encroachments were not removed despite the notices, the civic body deployed JCB machines to demolish illegal front portions of seven houses falling within the road-widening alignment.

The road-widening project is part of the Indore Development Plan-2021, which aims to improve the city's infrastructure and facilitate smooth traffic flow.

The plan includes the development of several roads and highways in the city, including the 45-metre-wide road along the Musakhedi Square–Sanwariya Dham Temple stretch.

The removal of the structures is expected to have a significant impact on the city's traffic flow and infrastructure development.

The project is expected to benefit the residents of Indore by providing them with better roads and improved connectivity.

In conclusion, the removal of 17 structures in Indore for the construction of a 45-metre-wide road is a significant step towards improving the city's infrastructure and facilitating smooth traffic flow.
