Supreme Court Acts Against Madhya Pradesh Government Over Bhopal Sealing Drive Enforcement
The Supreme Court initiated contempt proceedings against the Madhya Pradesh government for halting the Bhopal Municipal Corporation's sealing drive targeting illegal commercial establishments in residential areas. The government formed a 10-member committee to review occupancy violations before further action. Meanwhile, reports revealed discrepancies in the BMC's claims, showing only two establishments were sealed while others closed voluntarily. Some sealed properties reopened ahead of the court hearing, raising concerns about enforcement and compliance with the Supreme Court's directives.
