Karnal MC seals Dharmendra-inaugurated 'He-Man' dhaba

Karnal, March 6

The Karnal Municipal Corporation (KMC) sealed the ‘He-Man’ dhaba here for allegedly not taking change of land use (CLU) certificate, illegal construction and not getting the building plan approved.

This dhaba was inaugurated amid much fanfare on February 14 by Bollywood superstar Dharmendra. Local businessmen Sunil Tinna and Gaurav Tinna, who run a hotel along NH-44, gave part of the premises on lease to Vikas Choudhary and Rakesh Garg of Noida to run the dhaba last year.

As per information, no CLU certificate was taken from the KMC to run the dhaba. Construction was also done at the site without taking permission from the KMC.

“We issued notices to the building owner last October and November for not taking CLU certificate and also not getting the building plan approved, but when he didn’t respond. The order for sealing was issued in January,” said Nishant Kumar Yadav, DC-cum-MC Commissioner.

On two occasions, the KMC could not get the police force to seal it but on Friday, they sealed the hotel, he said.

Building owner Gaurav Tinna said they gave the premises on lease to Vikas and Rakesh for operating the dhaba, but they started illegal construction following which two complaints were filed.

Vikas and Rakesh could not be contacted despite several attempts. — TNS
