For the unauthorized construction, the Agra Development Authority(ADA) board has decided not to allow commercial electricity connection to properties without having a building map approved by it.
According to an official estimate, there are over 22,000 illegal constructions in the city and over this, the ADA administration is going to send a letter to the power distribution companies.
RP Tripathi, ADA Secretary said, “Following complaints of illegal constructions taking place in the city, the ADA has decided not to allow commercial electricity construction in absence of the approved building map. This will ensure that properties illegally developed are not used for a commercial purpose”.
Tajganj, Hariparwat, Lohamandi and Shahganj areas have the maximum illegal constructions in Agra, according to the sources. It is claimed by the ADA officials that notices have been sent to all the identified cases of unauthorized construction.
In many cases, orders are carried out by the ADA Administration to seal or demolish the illegal constructed property.
