Kamling gets back its awning

The government order states that the rent of the space covered by the awning will be increased by 12 per cent per annum. The minister has stated that Kamling had entered into a lease agreement with the original builders of Nagin Mahal, where the restaurant is situated. As per the lease condition, the ground floor and the open space in front of it of the building can be utilised for commercial purposes.

The collector had objected to the awning stating that it was a pucca structure and not a collapsible one. However, the appeallants have paid alicense fee up to 2001 for the awning. They were not given any prior intimation before the demolition, the government order states. Moreover, advice was not sought from the government architect or the Bomaby Municipal Corporation with regard to the awning, the minister adds.
