AMC's south west zone teams demolished illegal constructions in the new Fatehwadi area of Sarkhej ward on Tuesday. In all, 23 illegal structures — 22 residential buildings and one commercial structure — were razed.
The release mentioned that the high court initially granted a status quo but later ordered the petitioners on Sep 13 to voluntarily remove the illegal constructions by Sep 15.
Since the petitioners did not comply, the civic body proceeded with the demolition, starting with 23 structures on Tuesday, the release said. The demolition work will continue on Wednesday, said a source.
