Bhopal Municipal Corporation Reviews Notices Before Sealing Unauthorised Commercial Properties
Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued over 6,500 notices to properties operating unauthorised commercial activities from residential areas since August 9, following a Supreme Court order. Initially planning to issue final 24-hour notices from Monday, the BMC has delayed this step to review each case individually. Property owners found violating occupancy norms will receive final notices, with sealing action to follow if violations persist. The campaign has led some traders to voluntarily cease commercial operations.
