Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has sent a proposal to the Urban Development Department (UDD) seeking the power to grant building plan approvals for the industrial sector. Currently, these plans are approved by the Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB).
According to sources in the Town Planning Department, the civic body sees huge potential in this subject. The argument in the proposal is that the BBMP is losing its due share of revenue to KIADB.
An official in the department said, “The proposal is being analysed by the UDD, and we hope the government will be convinced. This has now become a matter of discussion between the Urban Development Ministry and Ministry for Large and Medium Industries.”
