On Wednesday, The HP High Court restrained Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited to make any changes in the heritage building, Central Telegraph Office, situated in the heritage zone — the Mall Road, Shimla.
Mr Raj Chauhan alleged that the BSNL in an illegal manner had changed the basic structure of the heritage building without complying with the provisions of the HP Town and Country Planning Act.
The petitioner further alleged that the building was not constructed for the purpose of providing residences to officers of the BSNL but was constructed for providing basic amenities to the public at large.
