In a flagrant violation of norms at the centre of the city which has been condoned by the civic officials for years, builder of a high rise structure has encroached upon major portion of the pedestrian facilities on the main road near Khairatabad.
He also started tampering with the storm water drain that ran beneath the footpath, with no official even taking note of the same.
Right next to the Errum Manzil Metro Rail station, the compound wall of the gigantic commercial venture juts on to the footpath which had once hosted three bus shelters. It covers the facade of a residential complex developed by the same builder several years ago.
