There has been a dispute over getting the maps of the houses passed in the city. Due to non-approval of the maps by the Municipal Corporation on time, the general public is facing problems. MC has more than 7 dozen cases pending in all the wards. Even after completing the paperwork, people have been forced to visit the corporation office again and again. Due to the habit of postponing work by the corporation, the councilors of Congress have started raising questions on their own municipal corporation.
Due to the rains, the Municipal Corporation will not accept new cases, but the cases pending with the AP Branch for many months are also not being taken care of. The Municipal Corporation is accepting applications both offline and online to pass the map, but it is a matter of regret that the approval does not come for many months.
Out of 34 wards of the city, maps of 28 wards are pending. That is, the MC has yet to settle 83 pending cases. After that new applications will be accepted after the rainy season is over. In these pending cases, 6 cases have come through online mode while 77 cases have come offline. In which time has been given to pass most of the cases after 1 month while the corporation has given 2 months to the maps of Summerhill.
Corporation should put objections within a week: Councilor Narendra Thakur from Bhattakufer ward said that the MC should put objections within a week in the maps that come. Many times people get unnecessarily upset by raising objections and there is unnecessary delay in the construction work. He said that the councilors should know from which ward for how long the maps are pending. He said that we are the representatives elected by the general public, so it is our duty to see what problems the people are facing and what we are doing to solve them. BJP and Congress councilors also came out in support of Narendra Thakur and advised the MC to improve the system.
Delays are caused by applicants: Commissioner: Municipal Commissioner Bhupendra Atri says that a team of engineers is sent to the field to inspect the applications that come to the AP branch. After checking the documents, if any technical or revenue related discrepancy is found, the applicant is informed. He said that the person is informed by telling all the mistakes only once, but the applicant does not correct all the mistakes at once and sends the map again to get it passed. Which takes more time. He said that the applications which come without any errors or deficiencies are approved after meeting in the House Approval Committee. It is said that there is delay in passing the map due to the mistakes of the applicants themselves.
