In a clarification on the reports that the BMC has directed to seal the house and business establishments of the holding tax defaulters, deputy commissioner Srimanta Mishra said the no such notice has been issued.
He said the BMC has written a letter to the zonal deputy commissioners and ward officers to collect the tax to meet the annual target. It is a routine letter, he added.
