A long-pending fire station project has moved forward with the demolition of unauthorised structures on a plot reserved for the purpose. The plot, spanning nearly 34,000 sq ft, had been occupied by various entities, including a motors company, an apparels business, and a banquet hall. A private construction company had challenged the demolition plans in court, but the petition was dismissed.

Following this, the relevant authorities proceeded with the demolition drive, using heavy machinery and with police personnel providing security. The cleared plot is intended for a fire station under a development plan. Further details about the project and its timeline are available from the source.
