According to BBMP officials, they will no longer be issuing notices to the other shopkeepers in HSR Layout. “Since the violations are clear and the court has ordered shutdown, we will not give them three days time like we did earlier… we will just shut them down,” said one official.

The tenants are the most affected lot. With many complaints from the business class, the joint commissioner has asked the officials to go slow, so the basement shopkeepers get some breathing room to evacuate.
