MCD seals 84 factories for flouting industrial rules

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has taken action against 84 factories across the city for violating industrial regulations, sealing them and cutting off electricity to several units, an official said on Wednesday. This enforcement is part of a larger crackdown to address industrial pollution and curb illegal operations in areas that are not zoned for industrial activities.

In September, the MCD officials inspected 520 industrial units situated in non-conforming zones—areas where a majority of the land, over 70%, is used for industrial purposes. Out of these, 84 units were found to be non-compliant and were immediately sealed.
