As per reports, the meeting extended for approximately an hour. The Mayor emphasized to the businessmen that engaging in unauthorized construction is not permissible, emphasizing the necessity of obtaining prior approval from the Municipal Corporation. Specifically addressing a tin warehouse above some shops at Hawkers Corner, the Mayor called for a reduction in its height.
