Mysuru: In an early morning joint operation, officials of Karnataka Slum Development Board and Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) demolished unauthorised sheds that had come up along the main road passing through Manjunathapura, which is part of Gokulam Third stage. The officials are said to have demolished nearly a dozen sheds.
Speaking to Star of Mysore, Slum Development Board Junior Engineer Jhansi Rai said that the MCC had sought the Board to clear the sheds along the main road at Manjunathapura for taking up development works such as construction of drainages and road expansion. Subsequently, the Board built over 70 houses elsewhere for the slumdwellers who lived in these unauthorised sheds and asked them to vacate. But as some refused to move out despite being served notice, the Board has launched evacuation of unauthorised sheds on a stretch along the main road, he said.
