Varanasi Municipal Corporation

In Varanasi rules exist on paper but not in practice. The political leaders and the administration both are reluctant to take strict action against defaulters. Footpaths are there to be simply encroached by vendors and shopkeepers. Multi-storeyed buildings are being constructed with supporting pillars on boundary walls of the compound leaving no space between the main building and the boundary.

Due to unauthorized constructions - including underground construction majority of Govt. lanes area covered by the land / building owners resulting 6' lanes became 3' , 4' wide lanes became 2' or lesser to lesser , as a result of these , even Sweeper thelas can't enter theses lanes where density of population is also saturated - phenomenon of sewer lines /drinking water supply pipe lines becoming brust , broken perphaps all gallis / lanes in Dashawamedh, Bhelupura wards . No remedial action / activity neither taken by the departmental authority in past Govt. nor Yogi / BJP Govt . so far in Varanasi . Availability of Sun light / fresh air .. totally stopped due to unlawful bldg. / houses constructions - which immediate need to demolished - to protect the public from polluted / unhygienic situation. We all awaited for "zero tolarence " action, activiy against corruption by the rulling Govt. as manifested by BJP for Varanasi Distt. ... May God Safe mankind ......

Corruption prevails. Most buildings come up against the plan and encroach public land at will. Shopping complexes without parking can be found aplenty.
