Punjab: Views sought from public on building bylaws

The government on Thursday sought suggestions from the public within 30 days on the draft building bylaws uploaded by the Housing and Urban Development Department on its official website.

The government has decided to formulate unified building bylaws to increase transparency and simplify regulations, said Housing and Urban Development Minister Hardeep Singh Mundian.

The draft bylaws have been uploaded on the official websites, www.puda.gov.in andwww.enaksha.lgpunjab.gov.in.

The minister asked Punjab residents to submit their suggestions within 30 days, citing that building bylaws in the state were among the most complex in the country.

“By involving various stakeholders such as developers, architects and engineers in the bylaw formulation process, it will be ensured that the bylaws meet their requirements and expectations,” the minister added.
