MP Government Considers Relief Measures for Traders Amid Master Plan Delays
The Madhya Pradesh government is exploring ways to provide relief to traders operating commercial activities from residential plots following a Supreme Court order. While the government has paused master plans for Bhopal and Indore, it is considering alternative measures such as categorizing traders based on location and introducing rules to regulate permissible commercial activities in residential areas. The government aims to prevent businesses on encroached or unsuitable lands and plans to finalize solutions before the Supreme Court hearing on September 15.
