Monitoring committee suggests change in enforcement mechanism

Chennai:

The High Court appointed Monitoring Committee has suggested change in enforcement mechanism and streamlining interdepartmental coordination within Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority to ensure coordinated action on disposing of the pending matters so that the locking and sealing can be carried out on the remaining buildings as and when they mature.

A member of the monitoring committee M G Devasahayam told Express the committee on Friday changes in enforcement mechanism besides streamlining the interdepartmental coordination within CMDA covering regularization unit, legal division and appeal division to ensure coordinated action on disposing of the pending matters so that the locking and sealing can be carried out on the remaining buildings as and when they mature without any delay.

The Committee also directed CMDA to put the T Nagar Survey Report in CMDA’s website so that the public can access the information and know the magnitude of violations of the Development Rules in these buildings covering excess FSI, Setback, parking requirements etc.

The Committee decided to review the matters relating to further course of enforcement action in the next Monitoring Committee meeting after further Orders of the Courts.

The Committee also reviewed the status of enforcement action initiated by the CMDA and Chennai Corporation on 62 unauthorized buildings covered in the T Nagar Survey Report, he added.
