Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva, along with representatives of Laghu Udyog Bharti, met the commissioner and requested exemption for industries in Narela, Badli, and Bawana industrial areas and the commissioner accepted, a statement from the BJP claimed.

During the meeting, the Delhi BJP president emphasized that Section 416 of the Municipal Corporation Act has become redundant. He explained that this section was introduced when Delhi did not have government-regulated industrial areas.

"However, today, Delhi boasts of government-developed industrial zones as well as private authorised and approved industrial areas," he said.

Since Delhi now has legitimate and approved industrial areas, individuals who have been allotted plots in these zones should no longer be required to obtain MCD factory licenses or 'no objection certificates' (NOCs) for plot sales, Sachdeva said.

The BJP claimed that the commissioner had assured Sachdeva that the civic body would approve this demand and issue the necessary directives immediately.
