MCG seals a dozen properties in Gurugram

Gurugram: The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has sealed 12 commercial properties in upscale areas of the city for not paying property tax, an official said on Friday.

The MCG sealed five commercial vends located on the Unitech Cyber Park Tower C in Sector 39 for not paying property tax.

The biggest defaulter in this tower was in arrears of nearly Rs 15 lakh. The other defaulters were having about Rs 10 lakh each outstanding against them.

Five commercial outlets were sealed in Raheja Mall here on Sohna Road.

Similarly, two business outlets in the Hong Kong Bazaar mall were also sealed for not paying over Rs 30 lakh dues each.

MCG last week issued notices to over 600 property tax defaulters and the sealed properties belong to some of the biggest defaulters.

"Owners of sealed properties have been given time to deposit their dues till February 28. After that MCG will start the procedure to attach properties of defaulters," MCG Public Relation Officer S.S. Rohilla told IANS.
