Bhopal Municipal Corporation Issues 228 Notices for Illegal Commercial Activity

The city government in Bhopal is checking houses and buildings to make sure people are not running shops where they are not allowed to, because some buildings are only for living in.

The city sent letters called notices to many building owners, and 228 new letters were sent in a single day.

The owners must show official papers proving they are allowed to use their buildings for business.

They have seven days to do this, and if they do not, the city can close or seal the building ten days later.

In total, more than 1,450 notices have been sent so far.

Some residents are happy about this because they want their neighborhoods to stay quiet and safe.

Some shop owners are upset because they want rules that allow shops in houses.

The city says it will keep checking buildings and take action if rules are broken.
