Bhopal Municipal Corporation Surveys Illegal Commercial Activities, Demolishes Unauthorized Structures
Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) initiated a city-wide survey targeting illegal commercial activities in residential zones, issuing 228 notices on the first day across 21 zones. Property owners have seven days to submit valid building permissions or face sealing from the tenth day. Concurrently, BMC demolished unauthorized commercial structures in Kolar after invalidating their building permissions. Continuous rainfall affected survey operations, reducing field inspections. The campaign follows Supreme Court directives and involves 96 officials overseeing enforcement across multiple constituencies.
