Nellore Officials Directed to Curb Illegal Structures
In Nellore, the city commissioner has told officials to be strict about buildings that are built without permission.
He noticed many buildings being built without approval, which causes the government to lose money.
The commissioner wants officials to send notices to these building owners right away.
He also wants them to make sure people know about a scheme called LRS, which helps regularize buildings.
Officials were told to check all pending applications for this scheme and approve them quickly.
The commissioner warned that officials who don't do their job properly might face punishment.
He also reviewed a project called the Naksha Project and told officials to finish it on time.
NMC Commissioner YO Nandan directed officials to focus on illegal constructions and issue notices immediately.
Illegal structures are being built due to lack of proper inspections by town planning officials.
Commissioner emphasized the need for effective implementation of the Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS).
Planning secretaries were instructed to verify and forward pending LRS applications promptly.
Negligent officials were warned of potential departmental action.
