Civic body officials will raze illegal structures on vacant plots after they are identified

The massive demolition drive in the backdrop of December’s Kamala Mills tragedy may have borne little results, but the BMC is all set to launch a bigger crackdown on those involved in encroachments and illegal building extensions. Sources said the civic body is developing a software based on the Geographical Information System (GIS) to help them curb the menace by highlighting problem areas in the city.
