Mangaluru: Corporation locks shops for violating norms
Mangaluru, Feb 5: A team of officials led by City Corporation Commissioner Muhammad Nazeer locked the shops which violated norms without paying the commercial tax, on Tuesday.
During the raid, the officials served notices to such shops along with warning. Many shops at Rama Bhavana Complex at Kodialbail, Attavara, Casa Ground and other places were raided and it was came to know that some shops were not taken trade licences.
The officials also found that some flats also evaded water tax and the Commissioner has taken it seriously, sources said.
Raid on every week
The city corporation will conduct raids on every week in the city on trade licence violation and no one could escape from it. Action would be taken against those who do business without trade licence, the Commissioner said.
One week deadline to pay pending tax
Action would be taken against the violators. Those who have not renewed their trade licences should pay their tax. Notices were already served to many shops which have not paid their taxes. The shops which were served notices should pay their tax dues within a week. Otherwise, legal action would be taken against them, the Commissioner said.

Neeraj Chopra wins Golden Spike meet
Ostrava (Czech Republic), Jun 24 (PTI): Indian javelin throw superstar Neeraj Chopra on Tuesday clinched the title at the Golden Spike meet in his maiden appearance here, his back-to-back win in a top-class competition.
Fresh from his Paris Diamond League win on June 20, Chopra emerged on top in a nine-man field here though with a modest effort of 85.29m in the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event.
He had skipped the last two editions of Golden Spike -- an event that his coach Jan Zelezny won nine times in a storied career -- due to fitness issues.
The 27-year-old Chopra has had an impressive season so far, having won his first Diamond League title in two years in Paris after also breaching the elusive 90m mark during his second place finish in Doha DL in May.
