Area Overview
What makes Namkum Industrial Area special
Namkum Industrial Area is an industrial belt in the eastern belt toward Namkum and Tatisilwai rather than an ordinary residential locality.
INDUSTRIAL ALLOTMENT IS TYPICALLY LEASEHOLD with conditions on use and transfer, and a change of use needs sanction. Where residential occupation exists alongside, PERMITTED USE GOVERNS PLOT BY PLOT.
THE PRACTICAL CHECKS APPLY TOO — what adjoins the plot, what it emits, heavy vehicle traffic — alongside the khatiyan classification of the underlying land.
