BHUBANESWAR: Mayor Sulochana Das on Wednesday said the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) has no problem in razing illegally-constructed apartments in its jurisdiction if the state government is willing to pay compensation for it. Taking stock of the road condition in a few localities here, Das said the BMC doesn’t have adequate funds for compensation which will be required to demolish the illegal apartments. “However, if the government takes a decision in this regard and allocates funds for compensation, we can execute it. The mayor further said no one should construct houses illegally by encroaching drains and government land or violating any regulation. At least 689 cases were registered in BMC and BDA jurisdiction.
