In a significant development, N. Kumar on Monday appeared in person before the High Court and submitted that he would demolish the iconic Poonam Tower, located opposite Vidhan Bhawan, within a period of two months. Addressing the court directly, Kumar informed the bench that the demolition process would commence within one week. His personal appearance and categorical assurance were taken on record by the court.
Poonam Tower, a well-known structure in the Vidhan Bhawan area, has long been at the centre of legal and administrative scrutiny. While the court did not pass any additional directions at this stage, it took note of Kumar’s statement regarding the proposed demolition timeline. Sources indicated that the court is expected to closely monitor compliance with the assurance given.
Details regarding the demolition methodology, safety measures, debris disposal, and coordination with civic authorities are yet to be placed on record. Further clarity on permissions, environmental safeguards, and traffic management plans around the busy Vidhan Bhawan stretch is awaited. The matter is likely to come up for further hearing once progress on the demolition is reported.
