New Delhi: Sealing drive by Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) against those properties whose owners haven’t paid up conversion charges was deferred for a day as a large number of traders turned up to pay their outstanding dues. MCD officials said they would begin the sealing drive from Wednesday.
According to MCD, it has already chalked out a plan of action till March 15. An MCD official said, ‘‘We are coordinating with the police as to how much force will be required for carrying out sealing drives across the city.’’ The drive is likely to start in areas like South Zone, Shahdara (north) Zone and Rohini Zone from Wednesday. Traders who have their business establishments on 2,853 roads are supposed to pay the MCD conversion charges, parking charges and registration fees as per Master Plan-2021. While the civic body had received around Rs 155 crore till December 2009, more than a lakh traders are yet to pay up, according to officials.
An MCD official said, ‘‘Our aim is to collect these charges and not to seal the properties. We want to give the defaulters an opportunity to clear their dues.’’ TNN
