A notice has been issued to the civic authorities and the district administration following a writ petition that seeks action against the illegal occupation of residential apartments for commercial purposes in a residential locality. The petition alleges that several residential buildings are being unlawfully used for commercial activities involving chemicals, plastic materials, and iron and steel goods. These activities have reportedly led to serious civic issues, including illegal parking and the encroachment of public roads by commercial vehicles. According to the plea, commercial vehicles and two-wheelers are routinely parked on the streets, causing major traffic congestion. Two-wheelers parked perpendicularly occupy nearly six feet of road space. As vehicles are parked on both sides of a street that is only about 20 feet wide, nearly 12 feet of the road is blocked, leaving less than eight feet available for other road users. This situation has made it extremely difficult for residents, pedestrians, and emergency vehicles to use the road safely. The court, after admitting the plea, directed the concerned civic and district authorities to submit their response within four weeks. The matter highlights concerns over unregulated commercial activity in residential areas and its impact on public safety, traffic movement, and the quality of life of local residents.
