There were a total 618 structures identified in dilapidated condition in 2021, out of which 201 structures were demolished and 129 structures have been either repaired or sealed, a statement informed.
Instructions have been issued to the deputy city planners and assistant city planners for an action plan to deal with the dilapidated structures as part of the monsoon preparedness drive.
They have been asked to conduct detailed survey for identification of the decrepit structures in their jurisdiction and forward the same to the Engineering wing for report on structural stability.
On receipt of report from Engineering wing, the list of all dilapidated structures should be finalised in each circle after due verification, with the balance carried from previous year.
