The district administration has directed the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) to disconnect power supply to buildings which were illegally used for commercial purpose in the district.
Field inspections by the authorities have revealed that several buildings, which had obtained licence as dwelling houses, were found used for commercial purposes. The identified properties have been notified by the civic body officials and the details of the same have been sent to the TNEB too, a press release said.
Further, to resume power supply, the building owners have to receive an NOC from the district collector. The release also asked the owners to use their buildings as per the licences issued.
