CHENNAI: Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority member secretary Anshul Mishra has issued a showcause notice to Ozone Projects Pvt. Ltd, developer of VR Mall, and its owner/occupier to restore the building as per the approved plan.
The action comes after the traffic police highlighted traffic congestion in front of the mall and a meeting was conducted by CMDA officials with the management to set right the deviations causing the congestion. “We gave a month’s time, but nothing was done. Hence as the first step we have issued the notice. If they fail to comply we will initiate lock and seal action,” said a CMDA official.
The Enforcement Cell (Central-I) inspected the mall on Jawaharlal Nehru Road on April 26 and found deviations in contravention of the Planning Permission granted by CMDA. “A major issue is the traffic congestion in front of the mall as an entry/exit is directly connected to Jawaharlal Nehru Salai. The other entry gates as shown in the approved plan have not been utilized for the free circulation of vehicles,” said an official.
On the south-eastern side, there is a temporary shed with 30 open shops/stalls (commercial) in the front setback space. On the 4th floor, where one swimming pool was approved, there are two swimming pools which are used for adults and children. Their sizes are also different from those in the approved plan. The presence of sports courts covered with a net roof and an open gallery in the open terrace area has also not been covered in the approved plan, they said.
