Ghaziabad: Convenience shops operating out of residential areas in violation of building bylaws in Indirapuram are proving to be one of the biggest reasons of traffic snarls in the area.
Residents have lodged multiple complaints with the administration. A crackdown follows and the shops are sealed, but most of them are back in business after a few months, they alleged. In 2018, the Federation of Apartment Owners’ Association had filed a petition in the Allahabad high court, seeking action against such illegal commercial units. They alleged in the petition that a number of private banks, beauty parlours, cafes, gyms, restaurants, departmental stores and clinics could be found operating out of the premises of residential townships in Ahimsa Khand, Nyay Khand, Gyan Khand and Shakti Khand areas.
