Bhubaneswar civic body notice to 4,632 city homes over illegal commercial use
The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) issued notices to 4,632 homeowners for allegedly using residential properties for commercial activities, responding to Supreme Court concerns. Owners have one month to provide documentation proving the nature of their property's use, or face potential sealing of their premises. BMC's actions aim to address unauthorized commercial use, which impacts revenue generation due to differing tax rates for residential and commercial properties.
