Srinagar, Mar 30: Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) today sealed Royal Hotel Arabia in Khayam area of Srinagar.
The owner of the building had sought permission for construction of ground with three storied structure (office cum rooms) for official purpose. He has not only violated the sanctioned plan but also resorted to the construction of five floors and an attic floor and has converted the structure into hotel in the name and style of Royal Arabia.
The defaulter was supposed to maintain car parking in the ground floor as per the sanctioned plan but he has converted it for official purpose of his hotel.
“This deviation does not stop here but the defaulter has also illegally constructed two storied tin roofed annexcy in the set backs on the rear side of the construction”, said Commissioner SMC.
A team of enforcement squad headed by Chief Enforcement Officer Manzoor Ahmad Tarray today went to the site and got the structure sealed on the orders of Commissioner SMC Dr Shafqat Khan.
Khan said that despite repeated appeal to the public in general, particularly to the people approaching for building permissions not to take up any illegal construction in the city and strictly abide by the sanctioned plan, people still are resorting to the same. “In such cases we have no option but to seal such structures”, said Commissioner SMC.
