A joint residents’ committee in Indore’s Arera Colony has formally approached the municipal commissioner with a letter demanding that all commercial activities on residential plots be halted. The committee claims that more than 80 transactions have taken place on plots that are earmarked for residential use, violating zoning regulations.
The letter cites a High Court order that mandates the cessation of such commercial operations and requests the municipality to enforce the ruling immediately. It also calls for a comprehensive audit of all land records in the colony to identify and rectify unauthorized commercial use.
Residents say that the influx of shops and eateries has disrupted the quiet residential environment and raised concerns about safety and infrastructure strain. They urge the commissioner to take swift action to protect the integrity of the colony’s residential status.
The municipal corporation has acknowledged receipt of the letter and has promised to investigate the allegations. No official response has yet been released, and residents are awaiting a concrete plan to address the issue.
