Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation’s (GHMC’s) town planning wing, which issues building permits in the city, has served nearly 3,500 notices on property owners running commercial activities after taking residential permission.
Property owners misusing the residential buildings are said to be running shops, boutiques and offices.
Prior to slapping them with notices, the civic body had warned the owners to convert the buildings into commercial establishments or stop misusing them.
Last month, GHMC had released a list of 118 new roads marked as commercial stretches.
