3 properties sealed in Yamunanagar over property tax dues

The Municipal Corporation of Yamunanagar-Jagadhri (MCYJ) has sealed three commercial properties in Ekta Vihar Colony of Yamunanagar for not paying the property tax. The property owners owed Rs 8,38,867 to the MC and had reportedly failed to clear the dues even as notices were issued to them a few months ago under the Haryana Municipal Corporation Act, 1994.

On the instructions of Municipal Commissioner Mahabir Parsad, a team of Regional Taxation Officer Ajay Walia and Jitender Malhotra sealed three properties in Ekta Vihar Colony.

After sealing the properties, the MC team pasted notices on the walls, warning legal action if the seals were tampered with or attempts were made to open the properties without the MC permission.
