Madras High Court directs CDMA to demolish building for setback violations

Earlier this week, The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CDMA) demolished portions of a building on Kodambakkam High Road as per the Madras High Court directive. A portion of the building that held a health care centre, a pharmacy and portico were in violation of the assigned setbacks provided by the government. The demolition took place under police supervision.

CDMA officials have been inspecting buildings across the city to identify such violations. The most common violations appear to be deviations with the height or setback areas of the buildings and changed usage. The officials have been directed to follow procedure and protocol by providing sufficient notice to the violators before proceeding with the necessary actions.
