The Bombay High Court has directed the Ulhasnagar Municipal
Corporation (UMC) to go ahead with the demolition of
illegal structures as per its earlier order.
The court has also ordered that extra security be
provided to the demolition squad. The demolition had
been stopped after strong public protests by the local
residents. The situation in the town is tense with an
all-party bandh, called in protest of the large scale
demolitions, entering the second day on Wednesday.
The court was hearing a petition of Ulhasnagar residents,
which was moved to stay the court's order after the
same was dismissed by the Supreme Court.
Pappu Kalani local RPI MLA from Ulhasnagar has said
that 90 % of the buildings are illegal and a civil war
is likely if the demolitions are carried out.
