In a significant move to streamline the construction process, Andhra Pradesh's MA&UD Minister, Ponguru Narayana, has announced a special drive to address the backlog of building applications in the town planning divisions of all municipalities across the state. This initiative comes as a response to the challenges faced by residents and builders alike, with a particular focus on the irregularities within the Nellore Municipal Corporation's town planning department.
During a public interaction at the Nellore Municipal Corporation Office, Minister Narayana acknowledged the technical hurdles that have caused delays in the approval process. He assured citizens that the government is committed to resolving these issues promptly. The Minister emphasized that the special drive aims not only to expedite the clearance of pending applications but also to ensure transparency in the permitting process, a concern often voiced by applicants.
The drive has already shown promising results, with 57 out of 76 applications cleared in Visakhapatnam, as directed by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu. Minister Narayana's instructions to officials were clear: to swiftly process applications, provided all required documents are in order. This initiative reflects the government's proactive approach to addressing bureaucratic bottlenecks and promoting efficient governance.
With the presence of local MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy and municipal officials, including Commissioner Surya Teja and Town Planning Director Vidyulatha, the message is clear: Andhra Pradesh is taking concrete steps to facilitate the construction sector's growth while ensuring fair and transparent practices. This drive is expected to significantly impact the state's urban development landscape, easing the path for prospective builders and homeowners.
