Shimla, Mar 14
In order to overcome the frequent practice of red tapeism in passing of residencial maps by the Town and country Planning department state government has launched a new system.
Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Wedensday launched the Auto-DCR (Developments Control Regulation) Building Permission System that will automate the process of building plan scrutiny and approval of blueprints and designs of the buildings upto 500 sq metre size plots.
The Chief Minister said that it will not only ensure transparency but also the accountability in the building permit process and approval of building maps.
Another feature will be that the registered architect is authorized to give permission and approval for construction of residential accommodation in an area of upto 500 Sq. feet.
This will provide much relief to the people as they will not have to go to the office of TCP for approvals of residential accommodation stated Sukhu.
He said that with immediate effect, the applicants can apply on the online DCR system within all the planning area under Town and Country Planning (TCP) on http://www.hptcp.hp.gov.in
The Chief Minister said that this will further help to streamline the building permit process and reduce the time and effort required for the planned scrutiny and approval.
