AP CM Jagan led government is not stopping in identifying illegal constructions across the state. The latest to add up to this list is TDP’s office in Vizag. The Greater Visakha Municipal Corporation (GVMC) had served notices to TDP office in Daspalla Hills and mentioned that the building doesn’t have any permission. GVMC also asked to produce link documents of this G+2 building in a week time or else it would seize it.
When contacted the TDP leaders they denied it is an illegal construction. One of the leader said, we have leased this plot spread across 2000 square yards in the year 2002 for nearly 25 years. As this is government’s land, they are shelling out Rs 25,000 every year as rent and they also revealed the payment receipts too. TDP slammed the GVMC and Jagan government for over-reacting on everything that is related to TDP. “We have all the documents and we are making payments to the government without fail. When everything is fine, why the government is targeting us,” questioned a TDP leader.
In the year 2016, the TDP office was renovated and then IT minister Nara Lokesh inaugurated it. We also hear that there is a court case going on this plot. A private person has filed a petition that the land belong to him. Technically even if GVMC seizes this building, it can’t demolish it as the case is pending the court.
