The Department of Town Development and Building Construction is going to work out a comprehensive code for building construction.[break]
There is a lack of a comprehensive law though something has been mentioned regarding this in the construction act and regulations, and apartment act and regulations.
The Department with the collaboration of local bodies will regularize constructed and under-construction buildings in urban areas.
Deputy Director General of the Department Sunil Kumar Karn said development works have been in limbo as land was not utilised properly resulting in bad shape of the city and problems created in infrastructure development.
He also informed that complaints were heard that more than 90 percent of structures were built in violation of the set standards.
