Hi, As per Thane Collector, there is sufficient evidence to the fact that permissions and plans sanctioned for 2nd home projects in the hinterland have later been changed one-sidedly.
Later she announced a string in administrative reforms to reduce red-tape and made sure of time-bound sanctions for getting approvals for various real estate development projects in the district including sourcing a title clearance certificate by setting up a dedicated help desk.
She really done a good job. India need some more officers like her. Reputed builders from the lake city and the district were informed of the various administrative reforms made for ensuring comfort of business in the district at a face-to-face meet with the collector. Developers with projects in the city and district had voiced their concerns about the lack of clarity in terms of approvals required for development.
At last she also appeal the developers and their teams to make sure that the files submitted are complete in all respects so that they can get the necessary approvals within the time bound period.
It is true. Because, Thane developers encouraging to the demand for a 2nd home in the rural areas of Thane should stop deviating from the original plans and avoid mixing of non-agriculture plots with the farm lands.
Because of this issue, Thane Collector held a open house meeting with the builders and developers at the town hall. The session was organized to find administrative solution to the concerns of the builder's group to the growing red-tape and corruption in the government departments for minor sanctions.
