Shimla, Oct. 17 -- Himachal Pradesh high court has ordered an immediate halt to construction of two multi-storey buildings between Boileauganj and Chakkar in Shimla, expressing concern over alleged unauthorised construction, extensive tree felling and suspected collusion among officials of the municipal corporation (MC), forest and police departments. A division bench comprising chief justice GS Sandhawalia and justice Bipin C Negi has directed the Shimal MC to issue stop-construction orders. The bench was hearing a PIL registered on the basis of a representation received regarding construction being raised between Boileauganj and Chakkar, to the extent of over five to six floors in two big buildings. The court had directed the secretary, District Legal Services Authority, to inspect the site along with the officials of the forest department and the Shimla MC commissioner, and submit a report as to whether the construction was duly sanctioned, the nature of the land and whether the authorities had permitted the construction of the said road. The court questioned the police for leaving the names of suspects blank in an FIR despite an earlier order identifying persons allegedly involved in the construction.htc...
