BBMP Chief Engineer (stormwater drain) Siddegowda said the marking of encroaching buildings will start on Tuesday.
"At present, we intend to remove only those encroachments that cause flooding. The joint commissioners and chief engineers have been told to identify flood-prone areas where removal of encroachments is a must. There could be some major structures, too," said Siddegowda, without sharing details of major encroachers. The chief engineer said marking buildings may take at least a week and the demolition of structures would start on September 13.
In a recent meeting, the BBMP commissioner directed the joint commissioners and chief engineers of their respective zones to prepare an action plan for clearing encroachments. Sources in the Palike said Prasad had directed the zonal officers and engineers to identify structures along stormwater drains where demolition is warranted.
