What happened

The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has redefined 'steady' governance by waiting exactly 20 years to act on a demolition notice issued in 2004. After two decades of administrative meditation, the bulldozers finally arrived at Poonam Chambers, only for the High Court to issue a stay order within hours. The illegal shops have now officially existed longer than most of the employees' careers, proving that in Nagpur, justice doesn't just crawl; it takes a generation-long nap.
