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.
