BBMP Cracks Down on Illegal Constructions: A Bold Step Towards Urban Compliance

The BBMP's recent actions of sealing unauthorized buildings or those deviating from sanctioned plans have been undertaken to enforce compliance with the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act of 1961. Below are the key points about Section 15(4) of the Act, which empowers the BBMP in such cases:

Section 15(4): Key Provisions

1. Authority to Act: Under this section, the BBMP (or relevant planning authority) has the authority to take action against unauthorized constructions or deviations from approved building plans.

2. Scope of Action:

   • Sealing unauthorized buildings or portions of buildings.

   • Issuing notices for demolition or compliance.

   • Preventing builders from continuing illegal activities, even while seeking relief through appeals to higher authorities or courts.

3. Objective: The primary aim is to deter illegal constructions, safeguard urban planning norms, and maintain the city’s infrastructure and livability standards.

4. Legal Process:

   • Builders are first issued notices specifying violations under the Act.

   • A stipulated time frame is provided for rectification or voluntary demolition.

   • If builders fail to comply, the BBMP is authorized to seal such structures to prevent further construction or usage.

BBMP’s Recent Enforcement Actions:

• The sealing drive has intensified in areas like SK Garden, William’s Town, and Wheeler’s Road, following a trend set by Mahadevapura Zone last week.

• These actions aim to discourage builders from seeking relief through delays in courts or higher authorities.

Impact:

• This enforcement move ensures that builders adhere to sanctioned plans, maintaining the integrity of urban planning in Bengaluru.

• It also aims to protect the interests of property buyers and residents by curbing unlawful practices. Best Regards,
