Ludhiana, September 19

The MC today sealed the Aura gym for allegedly not paying compounding fee and CLU charges.

Earlier, RTI activist Rohit Sabharwal had complained to the Local Government that non-recovery of more than Rs 1 crore as change of land use charges from the gym was causing loss to the exchequer. The MC had also served a notice on the gym last year through which its owner was asked to pay about Rs 1.20 crore. Recovery of about Rs 1 crore was pending.

Zone D ATP Vijay Kumar said the gym building had been sealed for not paying the compounding fee and CLU charges.
