VISAKHAPATNAM: As part of a demolition drive of illegal constructions in the city, Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) officials demolished a building belonging to former Gajuwaka TDP MLA Palla Srinivasa Rao on Saturday. The semi-built structure was located at the old Gajuwaka area in Visakhapatnam.
GVMC officials said the building was constructed in violation of municipal regulations, as it had no proper setbacks to the road. GVMC officials said they had also issued notices to the owner and the demolition was conducted under heavy Police security, to prevent any untoward incidents.
This was taken up after an article titled Palla Bhudaham over the illegal activities related to land and buildings by the TDP Visakhapatnam Parliamentary constituency president and former MLA Palla Srinivasa Rao was published in Sakshi a Telugu vernacular paper on Thursday.
