Five-six rooms with tin shed roofs have also been constructed there. We have written to the police and CIDCO to take action against the illegal shrine immediately.
“The City and Industrial Development Corporation has received land adjoining the airport”, he said, adding that as per his information, the planning agency had already given notice to remove the illegal structure
