22 Oct 2024 CW Team

The district town planner (DTP) launched a two-day sealing drive in South City 2 and Uppal Southend in Sector 49, targeting illegal commercial activities on residential plots. Three properties, including two guesthouses and a basement gym, were sealed in the drive on Oct 15. The following day, a similar drive in South City-I and Greenwood City led to the sealing of two more guesthouses and an unauthorised structure. An encroachment issue in Uppal Southend was also addressed, based on a CM Window complaint."Commercial activities on residential plots violate zoning regulations and disturb the neighbourhood. We received multiple complaints from residents about the illegal operation of multiple guesthouses and gyms. Our team, along with the cops from Sector 40 and 50 police stations, took strict action to seal these properties," said DTP Manish Yadav. "These guesthouses bring in a lot of outside traffic, noise, and security issues. We're glad to see that action is being taken after so many complaints," said Rakesh Malhotra, a resident of South City 2. Indicating that more sealing drives will be conducted in the coming weeks, an official from DTCP stated, "The misuse of residential areas for commercial purposes has been a growing problem in licensed colonies. We are committed to enforcing regulations and ensuring such violations are addressed promptly."
