CMDA locks and seals building
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) on
Friday locked and sealed a residential building in Purasawalkam.
According to a press release, the building on Sundaram Street in
Purasawalkam was locked and sealed under the provisions of the Town and
Country Planning Act, 1971. The owner had constructed ground-plus-five
floors, deviating from the approved plan. The CMDA issued notice to the
owner on May 14. However, as the developer failed to rectify the
violations, the ‘lock and seal’ action was taken.
