Delhi Civic Body Launches Seven-Day Survey of Homes Used for Businesses Under Supreme Court Watch

Overview

• Delhi’s Municipal Corporation directed zonal deputy commissioners to run a time-bound field survey to spot homes operating as shops, offices and other commercial sites.
• The sweep spans authorised and unauthorised colonies, group housing complexes, plotted developments and small pockets enclosed within MCD limits.
• Teams must verify each case with documents, prepare zone-wise lists, and assign responsibility for any wrong or missing reporting.
• The Additional Commissioner (Engineering) will compile the submissions into one report, and Commissioner Sanjeev Khirwar will affirm the affidavit for the Supreme Court.
• No consolidated findings have been shared yet, and the results could set up sealing, fines or other steps in areas long known for coaching centres, clinics and shops inside residential lanes.
