After the action taken on the hotels, there is panic in other illegal hotels of the city. Especially there is an atmosphere of panic among the operators of more than 50 hotels built in the green belt area of Varuna river. On 27th July, VDA had launched a demolition drive on two illegal hotels of Buddha Vihar Colony.
Some illegal constructions were demolished at these hotels using hammers and bulldozers. Even now the entire hotel has not been demolished. VDA has damaged the illegal constructions inside the hotel and sealed it and handed it over to police custody.
According to VDA Vice President Pulkit Garg, Mohammad Jafar Ali Khan has constructed two hotels in Buddh Vihar Colony. In the case of the land of both the hotels, the government had rejected the application of Annapurna Bhawan Nirman Sahakari Samiti Limited to change the land use of eight plots from residential to commercial.
