The Kolkata Metro Rail Corporation needs to demolish at least 11 buildings in and around Durga Pithuri Lane and Shyakrapara. The agency on Monday sent an SOS to Kolkata Municipal Corporation seeking permission to raze these buildings to avoid disaster. The KMRC has sent a list of the buildings which need to be pulled down to save other structures in the vicinity from crumbling. A senior KMC official said that all possible cooperation would be extended to the KMRC in this respect. However, a civic official said that before the KMRC starts demolition, the rail authorities would need to sign an agreement with the owners or residents of these buildings for reconstruction of their houses. The KMRC will also require an NOC from the owners/tenants of the endangered buildings and submit the same to KMC for the civic body’s approval to go ahead with the demolition.
