As per this, the service will be made available at Mangaluru City Corporation, Ullal Municipal Council, Mulki, Moodbidri Municipality, Bantwal Town Municipality, Belthangady, Sullia Town Panchayat next year. Along with this, the building license and layout approval system software has already been developed in all the local bodies of the state through the Karnataka Municipal Data Society. The government has already permitted for the customization at necessary places if required.

Departments planning to dig roads for the installation of cables, pipes and OFC’s must apply online to take the permission from MCC. The specified amount must be paid. There is a rule that roads must be repaired after completion of the work. But, none of these are being practiced properly. Who is digging the road? What for they are digging? Who will repair them? There is no such information. But, after the online system is implemented, this culture is likely to come to an end.

BJP using women's quota bill as front to pass Delimitation Bill that will break India: Mamata
Cooch Behar (WB) (PTI): Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday alleged the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre was using the proposed amendment to the women's quota law in Parliament as a front for the Delimitation Bill that would "break the country into pieces".
The TMC will fight this Central government's move at every step, she asserted at her party's poll rally here.
The Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill to tweak the women's quota law, along with the Delimitation Bill and the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, to implement the proposed amended women's quota law, in the Union territories of Delhi, Puducherry and Jammu and Kashmir, were introduced in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.
According to the Constitution amendment bill, Lok Sabha seats will be increased to a maximum of 850 from the current 543 to "operationalise" the women's reservation law before the 2029 parliamentary polls, following a delimitation exercise based on the 2011 Census.
Seats will also be increased in state and Union territory assemblies to accommodate 33 per cent reservation for women.
Opposing the Centre's move, Banerjee alleged that "the BJP brought the Delimitation Bill while keeping the women's reservation bill at the front".
"The BJP is trying to increase the number of seats in the Lok Sabha to nearly 850 through the Delimitation Bill. It will break the country into pieces," the TMC supremo said.
She also alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was not speaking the truth about the development of north Bengal at a BJP rally last week.
"The prime minister said nothing was done for the development of north Bengal. But we spent Rs 1.72 lakh crore on the development of the region," Banerjee said and asked Modi to cross-check data before making such remarks.
