Corporation serves notice on building rule violators
The Coimbatore Corporation has served notice on
promoters of 53 commercial complexes that are being constructed in
violation of norms, said Commissioner T.K. Ponnusamy.During the course of inspections, the civic body officials have identified the buildings in various parts of the city.
The
violations that were found in the buildings were not minor deviations
but major violation of norms, which the Corporation would not permit.
If
they were minor violations, the civic body as per rules would have
either fined the promoters or asked them to carry out corrections prior
to granting assessment. But the violations identified were major.
After
giving sufficient time to the promoters to respond, the Corporation
would go ahead and seal the buildings under construction.For,
the civic body was left with very little choice but to initiate the
action to enforce the rules and also drive home a strong message among
the violators.
