KOLKATA: The state govt has constituted an eight-member state-level building committee comprising urban development department officials and architects to look into and examine cases of minor unauthorised construction or execution of any minor work without sanction in all municipal areas across the state, excluding Kolkata Municipal Corporation but including the civic body areas of Bidhannagar and New Town.
The committee will also look into minor deviations from the sanctioned plan or execution of any minor work in contravention of any sanctioned plan under the provisions of the West Bengal Municipal (Building) Rules, 2007.
The committee will review all such cases as and when the civic bodies ask them to. The committee has also been entrusted to give technical opinions on other issues as may be referred by the local civic bodies.
A few weeks ago, the urban development department issued detailed guidelines for developers to follow in case of lifting tilted buildings in municipal areas across the state.
