The Building branch of the Municipal Corporation had to abort its demolition drive near the Old Sabzi Mandi on Thursday after Honey Bedi, son of BJP MLA Harish Bedi, arrived at the scene and stalled the operations to raze a building.
He argued with the MC staff including Assistant Town Planner (ATP) Kamaljeet Kaur and made frantic phone calls to a few VIPs.
Information revealed that owner of the building had renovated his building and it was coming within the 5-km radius of the national highway.
