"cellars"

The officials had slapped show-cause notices in June against 26 owners of commercial establishments including hospitals and shopping malls who had rented out cellars to shops, diagnostic centres and warehouses instead of allowing customers to park their vehicles.

Cellars of commercial establishments are meant for parking of vehicles belonging to their customers as per the Telangana Municipalities Act, 2019.

Since Siddipet town is witnessing frequent traffic jams, the Commissioner held a meeting with the owners of commercial buildings and traders on Thursday
