Several makeshift mohalla clinics in north Delhi functioning out of porta cabins face “demolition” as the area civic body has decided to remove such structures which have been built “without permission. Delhi health minister Satyendar Jain reacted sharply over the issue and claimed that these are temporary structures and “did not need permission”.
The decision was taken during a high-power committee meeting of the BJP-ruled NDMC held last month. “MCD planning to demolish some moh clinics, saying its their land. These r temp structures n don’t need permission,” the minister tweeted. He also attached with the tweet a photograph of the municipal circular released in this regard. “During the meeting it was also pointed out that the PWD, GNCTD, has started erection/installation on footpaths/pavements in many areas... All such structures should not be allowed to be erected on footpaths/pavements without approval of the corporation,” the order reads.
The area falls under the NDMC and its mayor said, “no unauthorised structures will be allowed on pavements and roadsides.”
