Bhopal Municipal Corporation Pauses Sealing Drive Ahead of Supreme Court Hearing
The Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) paused its sealing drive against commercial activities in residential areas as senior officials met with the Solicitor General ahead of a Supreme Court hearing on September 15. The BMC has identified over 62,000 such properties, with more than 8,200 facing potential action. Officials are compiling detailed records and preparing legal responses. Relief for traders through the Bhopal Master Plan is expected only from 2028, as implementation and related processes could take several years, with parking issues remaining a significant challenge.
