Corporation pulls down buildings on land retrieved by it
The Hindu
Concrete structures put up by an erstwhile lessee on a piece of land belonging to the Thanjavur Corporation near the renovated Old Bus Stand were pulled down by the civic body authorities on Monday.
The land measuring around 41,000 square feet near the Old Bus Stand was given on lease for 99 years in the 1920s for conducting cultural programmes and other events. But, subsequently, the lessee organisation had constructed new buildings on the leased area and sub-let it.
Recently, the civic body succeeded in reclaiming the possession of 41000 square feet of land from the lessee through a court order. Notices were also issued to the lessee organisation to vacate the premises.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
