MCC Commissioner Instructs to Stop Construction Work Till End of Monsoon: This is The Reason

Mangalore City Corporation Commissioner C.L. Anand said no construction work should be undertaken in the city till the end of monsoon. The decision was taken in the light of death of a labourer in mudslide at a construction site in the city.

There is a forecast of heavy rains and the India Meteorological Department has been issuing red, orange, and yellow alerts for the city. By undertaking excavation and construction work without appropriate safety measures, there have been instances of landslips, which have harmed human lives and also damaged public properties. In order to prevent such incidents, a decision has been taken to stop construction work during the monsoon.

Any violation of the order will lead to punitive action against the concerned under the Disaster Management Act, the commissioner added.
