The Municipal Corporation of Dehradun (MCD) will not proceed further with any plan to demolish condemned buildings in the city unless the verdict on the pending court cases of the condemned buildings owing to owner-tenant dispute comes out. According to the officials, there are 48 condemned buildings listed by the corporation out of which the court cases of 32 buildings are pending due to owner-tenant disputes.
In July, the officials of the corporation claimed to have issue notices to the occupants of the remaining 16 dilapidated buildings to evacuate their buildings within 15 days, stating that if the occupants fail to do so in the given time, the MCD with the police and district administration would demolish the buildings. However, it has been over a month since the notices were issued. The officials state that the corporation will not proceed with any plans to demolish these dilapidated buildings until the court cases of the buildings do not get resolved. As informed by the municipal commissioner, Vinay Shankar Pandey, the corporation is not planning to proceed with any plan to demolish the condemned buildings till the matter of the disputed buildings remains in the court. As soon as these issues get settled, MCD will proceed further with its plan to demolish these dilapidated buildings, added Pandey.
