A dispute between the Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) and a landlord over the rent of a municipal office in Ward 77 has been resolved. According to sources, the BMC owes ₹1.12 lakh to the landlord for outstanding rent payments.
The landlord, Hussain, had served a legal notice to the BMC demanding the payment of the outstanding rent. Hussain had stated that the rent was scheduled to increase by 10% after the lease period ended, but the BMC had not executed a fresh lease deed or cleared the payments.
In response to the notice, Additional Municipal Commissioner Anju Arun Kumar assured Hussain that all due payments would be cleared soon. The BMC has taken steps to resolve the issue and clear the outstanding payment, bringing an end to the dispute.
