GHMC warns action against illegal structures

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has decided to take stringent action if any additional floors are constructed after issuing occupancy certificate and will be demolished immediately, GHMC commissioner M T Krishna Babu has said.

GHMC is receiving complaints from the people with regard to construction of additional floors after getting occupancy certificate which is unfortunate, he added.

Responding to a question raised by newsmen at the weekly Prajavani programme,  the commissioner said that several illegal constructions are coming up especially in slums.

He appealed to the people to avail the opportunity and settle the pending applications of BPS and LRS before May 31. The applicant can pay the balance penal amount through DD by May 31 and documents if any are to be furnished can be submitted before June 15 to accord sanction. 

He that there is a good response to the Prajavani programme as huge number of  citizens are participating and submitting their grievances.

In the previous Prajavani programme the citizens represented grievances pertaining to individual litigations and boundary disputes which are civil in nature to be settled in the court of law rather than representing in the Prajavani programme.
