A dedicated enforcement squad will also be formed to identify illegal constructions and coordinate with police authorities to impose regulations and remove encroachments.
Additionally, planning department officials have completed initial training on using the new portal. The initiative aims to streamline the approval process from district to zone level by shifting from paper-based to electronic map submissions.
