Hyderabad: The State Government has instructed GHMC chief and other
town planning officials to stop giving permissions for the construction of new
buildings. And if someone wants the permission he would have to approach the
Municipal Administration and Urban development department.
GHMC has told that the Government is framing new guidelines for
construction of tall buildings and also planning to regularize unauthorized
constructions in the City and it is the demand that before launching new guidelines
everything has to be stalled for the time being.
There are many people who are affected by this ban of the State Government
as many of them are battling with the GHMC for building permissions since 2008.
Last year nearly 47778 applications were submitted for the new constructions
and there are about 1268 files which are still pending, 5603 rejected and 2554
returned.
It is a tedious task to approach GHMC for the permission which takes
lot of time and now this order of the State Government has shattered all hopes
of constructing the buildings. GHMC is not accepting any applications and
people are complaining against it and alleging that there are applications
pending for more than a tear and nothing is being done on them.
