Shops of property tax defaulters sealed

Following instructions from the Municipal Commissioner G. S. Panda, a team led by Deputy Commissioner and Revenue incharge sealed shops belonging to defaulters of property tax.

Owners of the two shops that were sealed, owed payment of property tax to the tune of over Rs. 18,000 to the Corporation. Despite repeated reminders, they failed to clear the dues, prompting the Corporation authorities to resort to the move.

The officials left warning people against removing the seal without the permission of the Corporation authorities.
