Survey of illegal buildings is going on, says civic chief; HC has pulled up BBMP over such constructions
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is still groping in the dark over the number of buildings that have been constructed without a sanctioned plan, though there is some estimate of the buildings that have deviations.
The civic body is the authority to grant approval to building plans in the city and has been pulled up several times by the High Court of Karnataka over the increase in the number of illegal constructions.
But it has failed to ensure that buildings constructed in the burgeoning city adhere to the building bylaws and the approved plan. While the survey of the buildings with deviations is still on, a parallel survey of buildings constructed without any approved plan from the BBMP is also under way.
