What are the Planning Authority and the Trade Department waiting for to fine the person who stands across the street from Umi repairing cars and playing extremely loud music?
What are the Planning Authority and the Trade Department waiting for to penalize a bunch of people who build things in prohibited or public areas, hindering business owners like us who do everything right and incur high costs?
to the authorities and government officials that have any interest in the well being of their people. this is a serious situation that needs to be looked into. this can cause health issues to the residents of that area. understanding that complaints were made and nothing was done to remove this dirt. the gazibo that was stopped by building authority in this article is minor . we need to follow the rules of the land.
i hope this situation gets urgent attention and the residents and business owners in the area be componsated for their suffering and this dirt quarry be removed to another location soon.
