The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) has tightened its approach on violations in constructions, especially unauthorised buildings in the Chennai Metro City. Close monitoring is being carried out on this front.
As a part of this, CMDA sealed 2 buildings in Pallavaram in Chennai yesterday (Wednesday, 17th July).
A senior CMDA official shared in this regard that they have sealed a building on Old Mahabalipuram Road near Semmancheri.
He shared, A departmental store was functioning in the building having ground plus three floors. The building owner had constructed it without availing a planning approval. The building is around seven years old,.
The official further informed that the owner was served a lock and seal notice but he failed to pull down the unauthorised structure. The building would not fall under the regularisation scheme.
Officials also sealed a building on Radial Road near Pallavaram for violations. The sealed building is a new construction which has been remaining unoccupied, officials said.
Information is gathered that the CMDA has sealed around 20 buildings across the city in past one month. Of the buildings sealed in recent times, the majority are located in the George Town area.
The official further said, Sealed buildings can be reopened after getting permission from the government. But the owners should rectify the violations within the stipulated time. We are now concentrating on such buildings that have reopened without rectifying the violations,.
