HC Orders Demolition of Illegal Wall Near Sea
Deccan ChronicleVijayawada: The Andhra Pradesh High Court has directed the AP Coastal Management Authority to lodge a complaint with the police so as to initiate action against a company owned by former MP Vijayasai Reddy’s daughter Penaka Neha Reddy, who erected a concrete wall in violation of Coastal Regulation Zone norms in Bheemunipatnam. The PIL complained that officials were not taking action against Neha Reddy even as her company was erecting a permanent concrete wall very close to the sea falling under CRZ-1 limits at Bheemunipatnam in Visakhapatnam district. It ordered the constitution of a committee with the AP Coastal Zone Management Authority member secretary, GVMC commissioner and the Visakhapatnam Collector to identify and report to the court on the constructions done in violation of CRZ norms along the coastline at Bheemunipatnam. The court directed the municipal commissioner to recover the total cost for demolition of the concrete wall from the company owned by the former MP’s daughter.
