The existing building rules, which have some flaws, will be amended
as part of promoting ‘ease of doing business’, and separate building
rules will be introduced for corporations, municipalities, and
panchayats, said K.T. Jaleel, Minister for Local Self Government.

The
Minister made the statement during the installation ceremony of the new
office-bearers of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers’
Association of India (CREDAI), Kerala chapter, in Kochi on Sunday, said
release.

Most complaints received by the Local Self Government
Department pertain to alleged irregularities in the sanctioning of
building permits, Mr. Jaleel said, adding that intelligent software
would be introduced in all corporations to curb corruption.

The software will be introduced in Kozhikode Corporation on a pilot basis within three months.

The department will conduct a separate adalat for resolving issues facing builders at the office of the Chief Town Planner.

Meanwhile, Najeeb Zackeria took charge as CREDAI chairman and S. Krishna as secretary general.
