As per instructions and guidance of enforcement staff, the owner initially undertook commercial conversion at night to hoodwink general public and locals but now cat is out of bag and it is now clearly visible from the pictures clicked today by aggrieved locals that the owner is without any doubt undergoing conversion of his residential house into full-fledged commercial one on solid RCC pillars.
Commercial conversion from residential is going on from the last one month but so far JMC has not taken any action perhaps the enforcement Inspector deputed in the area might have switch on towards owner and may not have submitted any violation report which has been seen in most of the cases where concerned Enforcement Inspectors don’t report violations at initial stage and whatever eyewash action they take against violators is after the violations are highlighted by print media along with pictures.
Owner knows how can be residential house converted into commercial one with the help of enforcement staff as owner’s brother has already converted his residential house on ground floor to run showroom under name and style Monte Carlo measuring nearly 1600 Sqft and also later also raised commercial structure on first floor with the help of enforcement staff.

JMC enforcement staff dereliction of duty has resulted in serious damage to guidelines of JMP-2032 and Unified Building Bye-laws 2021 which in latest trend has allowed owners of several residential houses to convert their residential houses in commercial one because of huge cost of commercial enterprises in Channi Himmat Housing Board colony costing worth crores spread over Sector-1 to Sector-7 without getting site plan approved from JMC and also without prior land use change permission from JDA
To put the things in right perspective, one Rajinder Sharma s/o late Ram Rattan Sharma having existing two shops on ground floor and residential accommodation on first floor measuring nearly 2500 Sqft on private land falling under Khasra No. 427 Min, Sector-3 Wartd-50 Channi Himmat Housing Board Colony in Ward 50 has now from last one month started converting first floor residential house into commercial one by removing windows and ventilators towards front side and also walls of residential accommodation on existing shops having no parking facility in front of Kalyan Jewellers with the help of enforcement staff deputed in the area.
It deserves mentioning here that as per instructions and guidance of enforcement staff, the owner initially undertook commercial conversion at night to hoodwink general public and locals but now cat is out of bag and it is now clearly visible from the pictures clicked on 16-7-2024 by aggrieved locals that the owner is without any doubt undergoing conversion of his residential house into full-fledged commercial one on solid RCC pillars and the construction still going on.
It is surprising to note that the commercial conversion from residential is going on from the last one month but so far JMC has not taken any action perhaps the enforcement Inspector deputed in the area might have switch on towards owner and may not have submitted any violation report which has been seen in most of the cases where concerned Enforcement Inspectors don’t report violations at initial stage and whatever eyewash action they take against violators is after the violations are highlighted by print media along with pictures.
Worthwhile to mention here that the owner knows how can be residential house converted into commercial one with the help of enforcement staff as owner’s brother late Sunil Sharma s/o late Ram Rattan falling under same Khasra No. Channi Himmat in Sector-3 has already converted his residential house on ground floor to run showroom under name and style Monte Carlo measuring nearly 1600 Sqft which became operational in 2nd week of July 2024 without any parking facility and also later also raised commercial structure on first floor with the help of enforcement staff after the same was sold out to new owner whose construction work continued for six months but JMC didn’t take any action. Those sitting at helm of affairs in JMC have a moral and solemn duty to ensure every construction in Channi Himmat Zonal Planned Colony strictly as per approved site plan but sadly in most of the case constructions are not being raised as per approved site plans but as per sweet will of owners with the help of enforcement staff deputed in wards.
