CHENNAI: Chennai Corporation has sealed food court and restaurants at Ampa Skywalk Mall on Nelson Manickam Road on grounds that they were running without a trade licence and were also "causing public health nuisance".

The trade licensing department conducted a surprise check on Tuesday and found that there were violation of terms of licences and also in disposal of food waste. All 32 shops have been closed including the food court, KFC, McDonald's, Junior Kuppana, Subway, Pizza Hut and other small coffee and ice cream kiosks on Wednesday.

"Six restaurants who didn't hold their licenses with them at the restaurant during our inspection have shown their licenses to us today and we have ordered for them to be reopened," said a senior corporation official. " But, restaurants must keep their licenses with them all the time."

KFC had a license pertaining to another site but they will remain closed as each restaurant requires a license for every place they operate from.
