The administration, meanwhile, is planning to demolish the Mount View hotel and the Malari Inn, stating that the two buildings are leaning toward one another, posing a threat to several surrounding homes.
However, the demolition, which was slated to take place on Tuesday, could not proceed after hotel owners and residents held protests at the site. The owner of the Malari Inn, Thakur Singh, lay prostrate on the road in front of the hotel to protest against the proposed civic action, reported PTI.
