Heavy security has been deployed at the site. The MCD has identified 800 illegal structures in the area that misused land allotted for dairy farming for residential and commercial purposes. Last week, the civic body gave defaulters a three-day ultimatum to vacate the encroached premises. The MCD said enforcement action would be taken against all illegal and unauthorised constructions after the deadline expired. The demolition drive is now underway. ## Coverage - thehindu.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
