Guwahati: In a major move to make building construction clearance hassle-free in Guwahati city, Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal directed the Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) to act as the single window agency overriding the multiple agency system. He also directed the Guwahati Development Department (GDD), to make necessary modifications in the existing system so that applicants could obtain the permission by applying at GMC itself.
Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal while reviewing the implementation of various government schemes and programmes under the GDD, at Janata Bhawan on Tuesday said that due to involvement of multiple agencies in the issue of building construction permission, the citizens have to face lots of difficulties as well as loss of valuable time.
Considering this, he directed the GDD minister to introduce a new system for online receipt of application, fee etc. at GMC and develop it as the single window agency for issue of building construction permission.
