Municipal commissioner I.S. Chahal recently issued a new standard operating procedure declaring housing societies as micro containment zones (sealed buildings) if they had more than five active cases. Office-bearers of housing societies have to ensure that the guidelines are followed by the residents.
The maximum number of sealed buildings are in the western suburbs of Andheri and Jogeshwari, followed by the posh Malabar Hill locality and Grant Road. Over two million people live in the micro containment zones and sealed floors.
At present, 1,169 buildings are sealed and nearly 10,800 floors have been sealed, according to the civic body.
