As the survey was not properly conducted, I also approached the Tirupati Municipal Commissioner and submitted a representation dt: 22.04.2026, seeking three (3) months of time to remove alleged encroachment. If the portion of the building is demolished, the entire structure may also fell down as it is an old structure. I hereby undertake to remove the alleged encroachment portion within a period of four (4) weeks by erecting a support wall/pillar. I will abate aforesaid undertaking given by me.”
