Nagpur: Even as the last ditch effort to save their eateries lined up on the Futala Lake view site failed Nagpur Improvement Trust is out to demolish these food shops on Thursday.
The demolition process would be carried out in full police protection. There are around 20 eating joints along the lake road which have been operating for over eight years. The demolition was being planned for the last two years after the SellAds which allotted the shops to these owners was found to be illegally doing so.
Meanwhile, many restaurant owners have started vacating the shops as truck loads of furniture and other inventories were being transported from the spot.
NIT had previously appointed Sell Ads for operating 20 restaurants and maintaining the lake and its surroundings on February 17, 2010, for five years till February 16, 2015. Then the NIT gave extension upto August 16, 2016, in a controversial manner. Since then, there is no permission to the restaurants but they continued to run at the place.
