NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court-ordered drive against illegal commercial units in the national capital continued today with the MCD sealing 97 properties in the city.
Since resuming the sealing drive on April 28, MCD officials have taken action against 1,957 commercial units.
A maximum number of 28 properties were sealed in Shahdara (South) zone on Monday -- in Anand Vihar, Trilokpuri and Shakarpur areas. Action was also taken against units in Lajpat Nagar, Dayanand Colony, C R Park, GK-I, Mukherjee Nagar, Rajouri Garden, Vikas Puri and Ramesh Nagar, among other areas.
