A DBKL officer checking on back lanes finds many illegal extensions put up by restaurants.
Example of obstacles at the back alley of a commercial area in Lucky Garden, Bangsar.
Illegal structures include grilled up cages for gas tanks and a mounted stand for the air-conditioning compressor.
Illegal extensions along drains make it very difficult for waste contractors to do their job.
Drains here are blocked and clogged with oil and grease.
