This was pending for quite a while. IMC had issued notices for demolition of constructions that were on the green belt areas. Following which owners of structures managed to obtain stay from court putting a pause to the inevitable cause that lead to this.

This was done with the help of blast expert they drilled buildings and carried out three blasts, two at Khambati Farm House and one at City Park. Apparently the walls were strong enough that it withstood JCB's efforts and hence dynamite came into the picture.

These properties were allegedly built on a green belt area and the IMC nor the high court would simply sit through and watch this happen. So a reputed bench came up with the decision to take this action.

Indore municipal Corporation has quitely stepped up against some of the huge illegally constructured properties in the city under a government land that was already allotted for some other key projects. THis is a welcome action against the such people.
