KMC finds out measures to regularize illegal buildings
Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) is bent on amending its building rules to regularize minor deviations by the middle class. The civic body plans to amend its rules in case of violations like additional constructions or renovations to the houses.
The move comes in spite of a Calcutta high court order restricting KMC from legalizing unauthorized constructions against a penalty. While the court said that KMC cannot regularize illegal buildings against a penalty, the buildings department earned Rs 55 crore in 2013-14 as penalty from such regularizations. Mayor Sovan Chatterjee on Thursday said that a proposal was sent to the municipal affairs department for approval.
This decision that has been taken by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation will help in the process of regularizing illegal buildings and also work out on the other problems. It has also helped the corporation in earning an amount which would help it to work out on other problems.
Probably the decision has been taken after sighting into the matters. This might help the people as they can avoid harassments by belting out the fine amount. Additional construction and renovation of houses often result in accidental violations.
