Kolkata, June 27 A Division Bench of Chief Justice S S Nijjar and Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose directed the Howrah Municipal Corporation(HMC) and Howrah superintendent of police on Friday to remove illegal shops and sheds near Ramrajatala Temple.

Local residents had filed a petition earlier this month alleging that these shops and sheds had been constructed after filling up Nonapukur, a water body measuring about 0.8 acres. They had alleged that the civic body and the district administration did not take any step to remove the illegal constructions.

The Bench also directed the HMC to restore the water body to its previous condition.

Earlier, the West Bengal Pollution Control Board had also requested the district police to destroy the illegal shops but district police had not taken any action.
