The Capital Development Authority (CDA), during its drive against non-conforming use of residential unit in the last six months sealed a total of 74 houses for violating building by-laws.
As part of the drive, initiated on the directives of the Supreme Court, the civic agency on Friday sealed five housing units in sectors F-6, F-10 and E-7 for running different businesses in violation of building by-laws.
A CDA spokesperson said that owners of these houses had been served notices asking them to remove businesses, however, they did not comply with the orders.
