Illegal settlers have encroached on the area from where the arterial road is supposed to pass.
According to a report of the town planning department, the land has at least seven four-storied buildings and nearly 500 squatters. A reality check, however, showed that there are more concrete establishments in the area.
“The KMC is owner of the land. But in this volatile political scenario, we cannot demolish illegal buildings and shanties. The authorities are scared of public fury and we have been asked to shift our focus from the project,” said a senior civic official.
