Factory plan scheme
shows good results Chandigarh, December 22 Official sources said that the SWIFT Disposal Scheme (SDS), introduced on an experimental basis, had shown encouraging results. “For the safety, health and welfare of the workers, certain norms are to be fulfilled by a factory. At the time of approval of its building plans, it is ensured that factories comply with the prescribed standards. Normal practice has been to check these before the expiry of the 90-day deadline and then linger by putting objections, causing unnecessary harassment to the industry”, the sources said. They added that since the SDS was introduced in October, nearly 150 building plans have been improved and the same number of plans were attended to. Mr K.S. Sheoran, Deputy Director, Industrial Safety and Health, has been appointed Nodal Officer for the SDS. He acts as a single window and service window for factory building plans and provides a one-point contact service to facilitate industry. He guides and advises entrepreneurs for clearance of building plans and helps them obtain factory license. For fast disposal of cases, Thursday have been fixed for interaction and counselling and examining the plans submitted during the preceding week. Monday’s have been fixed for submitting plans back to the department after complying with scrutiny observations. After receipt of the completed building plans, approval is communicated to the person concerned within a week. Similarly, after submission of the necessary documents for obtaining factory license, consent is sent within a week. |
