The Davangere City Corporation has identified over 100 dilapidated buildings across the city for demolition, citing safety concerns. Officials have issued notices to the owners of 50 structures, asking them to vacate the premises and shift to safer locations immediately.
Safety Measures Initiated
The corporation's move comes after a recent inspection revealed that these buildings are in a hazardous condition and pose a risk to residents and passersby. The identified structures include old residential apartments, commercial complexes, and warehouses that have been neglected for years.
Notices Issued to Owners
According to corporation officials, notices have been served to the owners of 50 buildings, giving them a deadline to vacate. The remaining structures will be addressed in subsequent phases. Owners who fail to comply may face legal action and penalties.
Relocation Assistance
The corporation is working with local authorities to provide temporary shelter and relocation assistance to affected residents. A helpline has been set up to address queries and concerns.
Public Advisory
Residents are advised to stay away from flagged buildings and report any suspicious structural issues to the corporation. The demolition drive is expected to begin within a fortnight after the completion of the vacating process.
