LUDHIANA: A day after local bodies minister Inderbir Singh Nijjar pulled up building branch officials over illegal buildings, officials demolished the illegal part of a building in Ram Nagar at Shingaar Cinema Road on Friday, triggering protest by local Congress leaders.
A ruckus ensued at the MC’s Zone B office near Samrala Chowk where former Congress MLA Sanjay Talwar came with Congress concillors and alleged that a Congress leader’s building was targeted even though there were many others under construction on the road where the MC had not given permission. He claimed that civic officials were silent about the other violations.
