MCD passes proposal on booked properties
March 1, 2024: The MCD has cleared a proposal on booked properties, enabling citizens to get their properties regularised by getting building sanction plans passed and illegal constructions removed. Mayor Shelly Oberoi clarified that ‘booking’ refers to a property getting ‘booked for action’ and if an alteration or addition to an existing building is found violative of the approved building plan, the ‘illegal part’ is marked for demolition. The move aims to streamline the regularisation of properties with transparency and accountability. The proposal will allow citizens to regularise the booked properties by paying the requisite fees and getting the building plan approved. In case additional floors are built, the owners can get those regularised by removing illegal construction or by getting the building plan approved again to keep it in compliance with the building plan in the area.
