No Banquet Halls on road less than 80 feet

Banquet Halls would not be allowed on road less than 80 feet

Now some hope has come with the new regulation of government on banning the opening of Banquet hall if the road is less than 80 feet is width. At present Banquet halls are mushroomed all over the city in many congested areas and lanes. Now no marriage grounds or banquet halls can be functional if the width of road is less than 80 feet. JDA has added this new regulation in Development’s promotion and control regulation volume master plan. Also it has been declared that marriage ground and banquet halls will have minimum space of 2000 square meters.

Also guidelines have been given to open tourism unit for increasing tourism and entertainment activities. Now these tourism units would be required to have 15000 sq meters land and 100 feet road in front. These regulations and two dozen other rules and regulations were passed in the meeting of ALP and these points would be sent to government for approval.

No Banquet Halls on road less than 80 feet

These are included in tourism units and entertainment complexes-

Watch and Ward residence, residential flats for maintenance staff, Cinema hall, Ground for people, Logistics restaurant, Bank, Post and telegraph office, Library, exhibition center etc.

Under Nagar Nigam guidelines there are 32 points which have to be covered and followed for banquet halls and marriage grounds but most of these rules are not being followed. Nigam also just focuses on licensee amount and city tax. Parking, firefighting system and other important points are being ignored. It has been said that 25 percent area should be left for parking but there is no mention of width of road and area of marriage ground minimum requirements.
