New Delhi: Treading the cautious path after two incidents of roof collapse in Connaught Place, the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has rejected 25 applications for running restaurants, cafes and other eateries in the area.
According to a senior NDMC official, among over 100 applications which were received in the past two months for grant or renewal of licence, 25 of them have been rejected.
"But now it has been decided that no provisional licences will be issued and if no certificates are submitted, the licence will not be granted or renewed," an official told PTI.
The roof of a building in C-block, above Jain Book Store, collapsed on February 2, while another roof of a one-storey building housing a popular restrobar, The Unplugged Courtyard (UC) in L-block, collapsed on February 11, triggering concerns about structural stability of the buildings in the commercial centre of the national capital.
