Such buildings or structures shall be removed immediately after the main structure is constructed and earlier if so directed by the Authority.

3.03    A residential building or apartment may be sued by its residents for “home occupation”  with prior permission of the Authority, provided the residential character of the building/ apartment is not changed and not more than two rooms are  used for the purpose.
