In a decisive move, the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) conducted a demolition drive, demolishing 82,580 square feet of unauthorised construction in the Wakad area on Thursday. The anti-encroachment initiative, spanning the Bhujbal Chowk region and the road from Madhuban Hotel to Jagtap Dairy Chowk in wards D number 25 and 26, was executed under the directives of the municipal commissioner. The operation was carried out with the guidance of the additional commissioner and city engineer, overseen by the Ward D officer. The PCMC's swift action is aimed at curbing illegal constructions and maintaining civic order in the region.
