Bhopal’s municipal corporation is set to restart its sealing drive against commercial establishments in residential zones. Notices will be issued first to verify property eligibility before any seal is applied.
The Bhopal Municipal Corporation has announced that it will resume its sealing operations against commercial establishments operating in residential areas. The first step in the process will involve issuing notices to the owners or tenants of the affected properties. These notices will serve to verify whether the premises are legally eligible for commercial use.
Once the eligibility checks are completed, the corporation will proceed with sealing the premises that are found to be non-compliant. The move is part of an ongoing effort to enforce zoning regulations and maintain the residential character of neighbourhoods.
Officials have indicated that the sealing drive will target only those establishments that are operating without the necessary permits. The action is expected to be carried out over the coming weeks, with the aim of restoring the intended use of the affected properties.
