Nagpur municipal corporation starts demolishing properties to widen Wardha Road
Written by news2in

NAGPUR: A day after mayor Dayashankar Tiwari inspected properties that were obstructing widening of Wardha Road near Ajni Metro station, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation’s anti-encroachment department on Friday started demolishing the structures.
Due to construction of Ajni Metro station and double-decker flyover, width of the existing Wardha Road had narrowed down to a great extent, resulting in traffic jams quite often.
The NMC was supposed to acquire some portion of private land from 34 residential properties, mostly the area having compound wall of the existing houses.
But the procedure got delayed.
The civic body had also paid compensation amount to the owners of these properties.
After the mayor expressed anguish over this lackadaisical attitude of the civic administration, the anti-encroachment department started razing the structures to pave way for the road widening.
