Sources informed that there are several residential buildings, who after procuring occupation certificates from the government, but made changes in the structures to start commercial activities including gym, salon, showrooms, clinics, educational institutions and others on the premises. The property owners are not worried about the government norms, they are openly flouting the rules hinting at nexus with the officials of concerned department, informed a source. “The enforcement wing of DTCP which is responsible for taking action against such activities has failed to curb them. These buildings have been approved for residential purpose, running commercial establishments from here put additional load on infrastructure thus causing inconvenience to the other residents,” said a local resident.
