Following 8,264 notices, Bhopal municipal authorities will start sealing commercial premises today, with police support, ahead of a Supreme Court‑ordered hearing on September 15.
The Bhopal Municipal Corporation has moved to the sealing phase after issuing 8,264 notices to various establishments that were found violating municipal regulations.
Today, municipal officials, accompanied by police personnel, will physically seal the identified premises as part of the enforcement drive.
The action comes under pressure from the Supreme Court, which has emphasized strict compliance before the next hearing scheduled for 15 September.
Municipal authorities are compiling a detailed report on the enforcement measures to submit to the court ahead of that date.
The sealing operation aims to ensure that all non‑compliant businesses are either regularised or closed, reinforcing the court’s directive for swift action.
