Residents of Chandigarh would now be able to get their building plans approved online with the administration launching an Online building plan approval system on Thursday.
So far, this process in Chandigarh was manual and cumbersome as there were a lot of loopholes and human intervention in the process which took more than 3 months to get the building plan sanctioned. The system was launched by Governor of Punjab and Administrator UT Chandigarh VP Singh Badnore, in the presence of senior officers of Chandigarh Administration. The system will be made accessible to public and architects from Monday.
The new system automates scrutiny of drawings vis-à-vis Building by laws, accelerates scrutiny process by eliminating lengthy and cumbersome manual process, provides alerts and reports via SMS and email and brings all stakeholders on single platform. Now architects can submit the application for building plan sanctioning in online mode from anywhere.
