The district administration has cancelled the licence issued to a marriage hall on Kanjikovil Road at Karumandichellipalayam village in Perundurai block after its owner refused permission to government officers for converting the hall as quarantine centre to accommodate asymptotic patients here.
A communication sent to the owner by Perundurai Tahsildar said that licence under the Tamil Nadu Public Buildings (Licensing) Act, 1985 was granted to the hall from May 2, 2018 to May 1, 2021. Since the hall, which could accommodate 2,500 persons, is located near the Government Erode Medical College and Hospital at Perundurai, officials after following the guidelines, inspected it for converting it as a centre.
But officials were prevented from discharging their duty.
The communication, dated July 6, 2020, said that when the virus is fast spreading, the owner is non-cooperative to the steps taken by the government and has set a bad precedent.
Hence, the licence granted to the hall stands cancelled. The letter said that action will be taken according to the law if violations are found.
