PANAJI: Chief Minister Pramod Sawant today said that his government has finally fulfilled the long-awaited demand of the common man to obtain permission at the officer’s level in tune with the cardinal principle of less Government and more Governance.
“Govt has finally fulfilled the long-awaited demand of the common man to obtain permission at officers level in tune with the cardinal principle of less Government and more Governance,” said CM Sawant
He further said that reforms in the functioning of PDAs as proposed in my budget speech of 21-22, have been achieved by way of delegation of power to issue building permissions again at the officer level.
“As proposed in my budget speech 22-23, notification to give powers to Notary architect/engineer to issue permissions for low-risk buildings has been issued today (up to 500 sq.Mts),” he added
Sawant said that this is expected to bring about a lot of relief to people who want to obtain hassle-free permissions without having to visit Govt offices which is in tune with the EoDB initiative of Govt of India.
Lastly, CM said that the option to apply online for building permits up to 5000 sqm built-up area has also been directed as an option while keeping the option for the public to obtain permission in offline physical mode too.
“All these actions are to bring about transparency and EoDB. It is hoped that these initiatives will be of great benefit to people at large and to the industry,” he added
