Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued 5,778 notices, including 921 on Sunday, as part of a crackdown on commercial activities operating from residential properties. The campaign, which began on August 9, is set to enter its next phase with the issuance of final 24-hour notices on Monday. Owners of properties that receive these notices will be required to cease unauthorized commercial use within 24 hours or face sealing action.
The notices have been distributed across the city's six Assembly constituencies, with the highest number in Govindpura (308), Narela (252), Madhya (165), Huzur (105), Dakshin-Paschim (50), and North (41). The survey, initiated following the Supreme Court's August 5 order, involves inspecting over 62,000 properties and requesting owners to provide building permissions, land-use documents, and other records.
Deputy Municipal Commissioner Bhuvan Gupta stated that the 10-day notice period issued earlier will expire on Monday, and properties continuing unauthorized commercial activities will receive a 24-hour notice.
