A demolition squad,led by naib tehsildar Daljit Singh and Municipal Council executive officer M S Jagat,demolished unauthorised structures on the drain behind the Railway Road market in Ambala Cantonment on Thursday.
The shopkeepers had illegally expanded their shops,encroaching on the drain.
The squad,equipped with bulldozers,cranes and other equipment,in the presence of a police force,pulled down the double-storey structures,ignoring protests from the shopkeepers.
The protestors,led by Congress BC Cell president Azad Singh,raised slogans against the district administration and demonstrated before the demolition squad.
Local MLA D K Bansal and supporters of the Haryana Local Bodies Minister A C Choudhary reached the site and asked the officials to stop the demolition.
When Bansal questioned the squad members,they said they were obeying the orders of the district administration.
Rest of the illegal structures were,however,not pulled down after Bansals intervention.
