Finally,the MC commissioner,AK Sinha has given nod to 27 pending building proposals which were awaiting clearance for a period ranging between two months and two years. The move will earn MC a revenue worth Rs 2.54 crore in the form of development charges,building fee and other sundry charges.
The processing of applications,it may be mentioned,gathered momentum following the state governments decision to confer powers on the commissioners of the corporations to clear cases at their own level unless they needed some technical advice. Earlier,all files used to go to the government for a formal sanction which often resulted in delay of projects.
Although the directive had come about a week ago,but MC Commissioner A.K Sinha exercised his powers today resulting in the long-pending cases taking off finally.
All the projects are commercial and industrial which are to come up in designated commercial and industrial areas. Commissioner AK Sinha told Newsline that the cases were indeed pending for a long time,adding: From now onwards,all commercial and industrial projects will be get sanction within 30 days. The same time period has been fixed for the residential building plans as well.
The commissioner also said that in future,meetings would be held on regular basis to clear the cases within the stipulated time.
