The Story in Brief
Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) is set to start a citywide survey of over 62,000 commercial properties to crack down on illegal commercial activity in residential areas and other building violations. The BMC has prepared a Standard Operating Procedure but is waiting for the Supreme Court's written order after an August 5 hearing before issuing fresh notices, officials said. The drive is expected to be completed before the next court hearing on September 15.

This is not the first time BMC has promised a clean-up, and residents will be watching whether all 62,000 properties get equal scrutiny or only the small shop owners. The test is simple. When the survey ends, see if the number of sealed properties in upscale colonies like Arera and Shyamla Hills matches those in older, poorer neighbourhoods. If it does not, the SOP is just another paper exercise.
