"A status report by Commissioner SMC is again incomplete," the court observed and directed SMC counsel to file comprehensive report.
The court also directed VC SDA and VC LAWDA to file status by June 13, detailing therein the unauthorized and illegal constructions and constructions raised in contravention of Master Plan 2000-2021 within different 'local areas' of Srinagar city, commenced before 5th March 2014 but not completed on 5th March 2014 or currently under construction with all necessary details.
It should also give details about buildings/structures raised before 5th March 2014, not complying with the Safety standards directed by the state government, the court said.
Pertinently, the court has already directed SMC's Field Agency to immediately stop illegal constructions in their respective areas. Otherwise, the court has directed, they shall be personally responsible for disciplinary action.
