Mysore/Mysuru: In a swift action, the MCC authorities on Thursday stopped an unauthorised construction of a structure in Bogadi here.

Some persons had begun preparations for laying the foundation stone for a structure at a plot behind Sridevi Nursing Home in Bogadi second stage, when locals alerted the MCC authorities. Upon coming to know of the matter, the MCC Zone-3 officials led by Development Officer Satyamurthy went to the spot and stopped the construction as the builders reportedly did not have the MCC license.

The authorities warned them against continuing with the construction without sanction by the MCC. The Police provided security at the spot.

The MCC authorities said that any structure that is built without a Building License issued by the MCC is outrightly considered as unauthorised. Pointing out that locals are claiming that the construction is coming up on a Government land, they said it is learnt that the locals have also complained to the Tahsildar, following which a notice was issued to the builders. However, the builders are asserting that the land belongs to them and as such, they are  asked to resolve the issue and obtain MCC license before going ahead with any construction at the site, the authorities said adding that the construction has now been stopped after their visit to the spot.
