Faridabad, May 12
The Municipal Corporation demolished unauthorised structures of three hotels located in the NIT-1 market here yesterday. MC Joint Commissioner Mukesh Solanki said the operation against the hotels was in pursuance of a directive of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Delight Hotel, Raj Mandir and Raj Mahal on which the corporation’s axe fell are well-known land marks in the city. The six-hour-long operation against the hotels was a smooth affair. Not much police force accompanied MC demolition squad.

However, a strong contingent of the police team was kept on standby in the nearby NIT Police Station as a contingency measure.

The demolition squad raized structures on the third floor of Hotel Delight and on the fourth floors of the other two hotels. Officials said the structures had been constructed in violation of the sanctioned building plans.
