According to the minister, the three civic bodies have informed that they are taking demolition and sealing actions, against the properties found in violation of the provisions of the Delhi Master Plan 2021 and Unified Building Bylaws 2016, on the instruction of the monitoring committee. The sealing drive was launched by the three municipal corporations in late December 2017. Traders have called bandhs several times, to protest the action against their establishments. To provide relief to traders, the ministry, on June 21, 2018, notified amendments to the MPD-2021, increasing the floor area ratio (FAR) for constructions carried out beyond permissible limits.

The STF has commissioners of all the three municipal corporations as its members.
