KMC Rooftop Restaurant Hearings Remain Inconclusive Due to Missing Permits
Some rooftop restaurants in Kolkata are having trouble.
They went to the city government (KMC) because they need permission to run their businesses, but they didn't have the right papers.
The KMC wants to make sure everything is safe and follows the rules.
The restaurant owners want to open again because their employees need their jobs.
The city is also looking at stopping people from selling or changing ownership of rooftops to prevent fire risks.
The restaurants will have another chance to show the needed documents on June 11th.
Hearings for three Kolkata rooftop restaurants were inconclusive due to missing documents.
The KMC has asked restaurant owners to return with valid documents on June 11th.
Restaurant owners requested reopening to retain employees and agreed to KMC rules.
KMC building rules prevent infrastructure setup without civic body approval.
KMC is restricting rooftop registration and transfer to ensure safety.
