Acting on the directions of the High Court of Karnataka, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) on Friday issued guidelines for its officials to regularly monitor the process of construction of new buildings after sanctioning plans as per the Building Bylaws-2003 to prevent illegal construction at stage construction itself.
Also, BBMP’s Chief Commissioner Tushar Giri Nath gave an undertaking to the court that during his tenure in the post that he would strictly implement the bylaws and initiate action against the erring officials.
As per the guidelines, the assistant director of BBMP’s town planning department, soon after the plan sanction, will have to identify the Building Plinth Line (BPL) in the presence of property owners or their representatives.
