"We have been running our shop in this mall for the past six years and suddenly they say this is not a commercial area. Karol Bagh comes under the Special Area and hence the MCD can't seal shops here for carrying out commercial activities," said a shopkeeper.

The mall was sealed at 9.30am on Wednesday. Most shops in this mall sell jewellery. According to sources, the action was taken on the directions of the Supreme Court-appointed monitoring committee that looks into matters related to sealing of unauthorised commercial establishments.

"The main road is notified as a commercial street but the mall is inside the colony, which is residential and hence commercial activities are not allowed," said a senior MCD official.
