During an inspection of the areas under BNCMC’s jurisdiction, including Narpoli, Hasan Mehta Building, Samru Bagh, Juna Gauripada, and other locations, it was discovered that several individuals had illegally dug municipal roads and obtained unauthorized water connections.

Among those found guilty were Abdul Kalam Shah (alias Bablu, a developer), Tabrez Sheikh (developer), and Mohd.

In another instance, Atiq Khan illegally dug the municipal road in the Narpoli, Golden Hotel, Jairam Tower Marg, and Dudh Bawdi Naka areas, damaging the municipal water channel and securing an unauthorized water connection for his service centre. A similar case was registered against him at the Nizampur Police Station under the same IPC sections.
