Surat: Five officials of the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) have been suspended over the 'mysterious' demolition of about 80 shanties in Nasirnagar area in May, days after the civic body denied that it had any role in the operation.
A departmental inquiry has been initiated based on the findings of an internal inquiry committee which probed the demolition carried out on May 30, the SMC said in a release on Wednesday.
