Retired Army Officer — Illegal Commercial Activities in Residential Colonies Across Delhi

Address:

New Delhi, Delhi

As per the Law for Mixed Use of Residential Accommodation:-- 1. The person carrying out the commercial activities in residential colony has to be a resident. 2. Only 25% of the covered area of the residence can be used for commercial activity. 3. Commercial activity is permitted only on Ground floor. 4. Only retail shops are permitted. 5. It is permitted only on service lanes 6. The businessman has to provide space for parking of their customers’ vehicles. In almost in all Residential Colonies across Delhi :-- 1. Performer of the Commercial activity is not a resident. 2. 100% floor area supplemented by encroached public space is being utilized. 3. Commercial activity goes on all available floors. 4. Instead of retail shops, massive luxurious show rooms are operating from residences. The commercial shops in the next door markets are lying unoccupied. 5 Main Roads have been encroached upon.. 6 Parking spaces of the legitimate residents has been encroached upon by the businessmen. Needless to say that all these activities are illegal and directly or indirectly sustain themselves through the brute force of black money and business lobby’s muscle power, which no resident dares to get pitted against. Plea: As part of the ‘SWACHH BHARAT ABHIAAN’, your good office may kindly initiate disciplinary legal action against the offenders and order them to stop these activities.
