6,000 illegal units to be sealed in 2 weeks ,SC told

Delhi government on Thursday told supreme court that over 6,000 industrial units running illegally from residential areas in Delhi would be sealed within 15 days after the court asked how they were allowed to operate for the last 14 years in violation of its order.

The apex court had in 2004 appointed a committee headed by the Delhi chief secretary to take action against such industrial units which had not shifted out of residential colonies but the panel failed to take action against them. The committee comprised of heads of Delhi Police civic bodies and the DDA vice chairman.

Delhi government assured SC that al industrial operations in residential areas would be closed within 2 months after conducting a comprehensive survey by civic bodies.
