CM Not In Favour Of Mass Demolitions, Says Minister Narayana
NELLORE: Reacting to the survey conducted in Kavali municipality, Municipal Administration Minister P. Narayana clarified that the government is not in favor of mass demolitions at this stage, but warned that any new construction violating building norms will face stringent sanctions.
“Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu is against immediate demolitions,” Narayana said. “But he has directed that all future violations be dealt with harshly. People now need to put their properties in order and avoid such risks,” he said.
The minister asked property owners to take advantage of the Building Regulation Scheme (BRS) and the Layout Regulation Scheme (LRS) introduced by the state government to legalize irregular structures and maintain civil order in urban areas.
Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, Narayana said that the TDP government has introduced various reforms in generating plan approvals to simplify the process, increase transparency and minimize opportunities for deviations.
Online approval systems, citizen-friendly interfaces and faster processing times have been implemented to ensure residents can easily obtain permits without resorting to illegal changes.
“Our goal is to make it easier for people to comply with the rules,” Narayana said. “These reforms are designed to help citizens build legally and safely without facing unnecessary obstacles.”
