The Story in Brief
The Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) has intensified action against illegal commercial establishments and unauthorised constructions across the city. It plans to issue 500 notices daily in each Assembly constituency for occupancy violations, targeting around 60,000 notices, over 100 demolitions and 1,000 sealing actions before the next Supreme Court hearing.
On Wednesday, BMC teams issued 557 notices across six constituencies, with Narela accounting for the highest at 264. The civic body will also move to vacate 144 High Court stay orders on properties identified in a survey of 62,500 registered commercial premises, classified by road width.
The Indian Opinion
The usual narrative pits a heavy-handed BMC against hapless property owners, but the city's unplanned commercial sprawl has long choked roads and violated building norms. The real test is whether the drive applies equally to powerful violators with political connections. Watch if the promised 60,000 notices actually get served, or if they remain a press release statistic after the Supreme Court hearing.
