Visakhapatnam/Dec 11 : The Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) intensified its crackdown on unauthorized constructions by demolishing 16 illegal structures across several zones on Wednesday. Officials said the drive was initiated after noticing a sharp rise in violations following the announcement of the Building Penalisation Scheme (BPS-2025). The civic body has deployed special teams to inspect properties and identify structural deviations.
Authorities stated that regular enforcement is essential to maintain planned urban development and prevent haphazard growth in the rapidly expanding city. The demolition drive will continue till December 20, with a focus on defaulters who attempted to exploit the BPS window. GVMC appealed to residents and builders to follow approved layouts and building norms to avoid penalties and legal action.
