The SDMC has sanctioned 180 building plans in past two months after the process of sanctioning building plans was digitised and simplified into a single window clearance system in the month of April by the civic body.
Officials from building department claim digitising the system is attracting more people to follow the procedure.
SDMC mayor Shyam Sharma said in past to sanction a single building plan the department used to take months but in past two months the number of plans sanctioned by corporation has gone up by a big margin.
Sharma further added that this system will also help in curbing illegal builders across its jurisdiction. "The capital is facing issue of illegal builder mafia and this is the first step to curb illegal activities as we will have a record which the department can cross check while identifying illegal construction," the mayor added.
Officials said the online system for building plan approval has a common application form which people needs to fill and no personal visits to office is required. "People complained that they have to make several rounds to get a building plan approved. Now, residents can track the status of their application. The money has to be deposited online so it leaves no space for any kind of corruption. The number of procedures has reduced and multiple affidavits have been converted in to a single affidavit. Also, the list of architects and structural engineers is available online which leaves no space for any confusion," said an official.
