The Bengaluru East City Corporation has begun action against 11 unauthorised buildings found to have major deviations from their approved plans. During inspections, officials discovered significant violations, including a multi-storey structure in Whitefield that is now being manually demolished due to several unapproved floors. The crackdown follows a survey of more than 600 under-construction properties, after which notices were issued under the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act, 1961. While many cases are still tied up in court, these 11 sites had full clearance for demolition. The move signals the civic body�s firm effort to curb illegal construction and strengthen urban regulatory compliance.
