KOLKATA: Mayor Firhad Hakim on Friday asked the Kolkata Municipal Corporation buildings department to offer relief to the owners of small plots by relaxing building rules so that they can construct homes on them.
Hakim got a call from a resident of Baghajatin during the interactive session ‘Talk to Mayor’. The resident has been refused permission to build a house by the civic body’s buildings wing because the size of the plot made it difficult to adhere to mandatory open space that is required after construction.
