Assam Congress Chief Served Notice Over illegal construction

The Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) has served notice to Mr Bhupen Borah asking him to furnish a No Objection Certificate (NOC) and an ‘Approved Plan’ for his building located at Ghoramara in Guwahati within three days.

A complaint has been received from Bhaskarjyoti Kumar and Hiren Bhatta, Bhetapara, Ghorama, Guwahati regarding your constructed building at Niribili Path. Ghoramara Chariali Guwahati-781040. You are hereby requested to produce the copy of No Objection Certificate and Approved Plan of your above-mentioned building undertaken at Niribili Path, Ghoramara Chariali, Guwahati. Your reply should reach the office of the undersigned within 03(three) days from the date of receipt of this letter,” a statement from the GMC read.

Borah said, “He does not own any property in Guwahati, the said house is in the name of my wife. This notice is nothing but a political vendetta against me by the BJP-led government since I have been questioning them on the permission for their new office building which has been illegally built over government land”.
