GANGTOK, 28 Sept: The Urban Development and Housing Department has notified people to stop all forms of construction activities [“at whatever stage they are at”], till the situation returns to normal.
Through a Notice released today, the department explains that the 18 September earthquake and incessant rains since then have “disturbed the soil heavily”. “Hence, no construction involving earth excavation works shall be permitted since fresh excavation of already disturbed soil is likely to trigger off fresh slides causing damage to life and property,” he Notice details.
The Notice further details that “issue of Construction Orders shall be withheld until further notice”.
The release concludes with an appeal to all “to stop all forms of construction activities till the situation returns to normal”.
