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.
