(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has ignited a storm of controversy by serving notices to the Mall of Asia, uncovering a series of alleged infractions in construction and noise regulations.
The Mall of Asia, situated in Bengaluru, reportedly deviated from the approved plan of action sanctioned by the BBMP. Despite initially obtaining permission for parking facilities, the establishment proceeded to construct a party hall, violating the approved blueprint. The BBMP is poised to issue a notice against the mall for what they deem as the unauthorized construction of this party hall, prompting heightened scrutiny.

Moreover, allegations have surfaced accusing the mall's owner of breaching BBMP's map regulations, further compounding the alleged violations. This contentious situation has raised pertinent questions about the issuance of an Occupancy Certificate (OC), which was granted despite glaring discrepancies in the building's construction.
Criticism has been directed at officials responsible for granting the OC without ensuring adherence to the approved plan, triggering calls for accountability and intensive scrutiny. BBMP Commissioner Tushar Girinath has taken a proactive stance, calling for a comprehensive investigation into the matter, aligning with directives from the High Court to probe these purported rule violations.
