Bengaluru North civic body sealed PGs in Yelahanka and Jakkur for hygiene violations, warning operators to follow rules strictly

Bengaluru North Municipal Corporation has intensified its crackdown on paying guest (PG) accommodations that fail to comply with civic and health regulations. Acting on the instructions of Commissioner Pommala Sunil Kumar, inspection drives were carried out across several wards, leading to the closure of multiple PG facilities.

Officials reported that two men’s PGs located at Yelahanka Kogilu Cross were sealed after repeated violations of prescribed norms. In another instance, the kitchen of Heavenly Co Living PG in Jakkur was inspected by health department officials and found to be unhygienic. The premises were locked immediately in the presence of civic authorities.

The commissioner emphasized that PG operators must strictly adhere to municipal guidelines, particularly those concerning sanitation, safety, and licensing. The latest action serves as a stern warning to establishments running illegally or neglecting basic standards of cleanliness and safety.
