The Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) has decided to tighten the noose around builders who have deviated from the approved building maps while executing their project.
PMC board recently passed a proposal which will allow the corporation to impose additional fine over the existing one imposed in accordance with the building by-laws, in the event of any deviation from the approved building design. The fine would be five times the amount charged for deviation. "The sole intention behind introducing this additional fine is to discourage builders from making alterations in the approved maps as deviations cause lot of problems," said PMC commissioner Rana Awadhesh.
