Uttarakhand Government Ends Panchayats' Authority to Approve Building Maps in Notified Areas

By thecommonsvoice
Jurisdiction: The Uttarakhand government has officially stripped Panchayati Raj institutions of their power to approve building maps within notified planning areas.
Digitalization: Map approvals will now be integrated into the RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) portal to make the process online, transparent, and time-bound.
Legislation: This change follows the repeal of Section 106 of the Panchayati Raj Act, ensuring that only Development Authorities handle technical clearances.
Regulation: The move aims to eliminate corruption, stop the growth of unauthorized colonies, and prevent unplanned urban sprawl outside city limits.
