E-Khata mandatory for building plan approval from July 1: BBMP
Bengaluru, Jun 9 (PTI): Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike's Chief Commissioner Maheswar Rao said on Monday that E-Khata has been made mandatory for building plan approval from July 1.
E-Khata is an electronic property certificate that maintains ownership information in an online database.
According to BBMP, from July 1, the procedure of forwarding property ownership records to the Revenue Department for verification will also be discontinued.
Rao also said under the "Trust & Verify" approach, preliminary plan approvals will be confirmed or rejected with valid reasons by the respective assistant directors (town planning) within a specified timeframe.
The BBMP currently provides online building plan approval through the EoDB-OBPS software, said a release issued by BBMP. Additionally, the Revenue Department of the BBMP has implemented the E-Aasthi software, through which E-Khatas are already being issued for properties within the BBMP limits, the release said.

New Delhi (PTI): Outside one of the country's largest high-security prisons, Tihar jail, a late-night emergency call had nothing to do with inmates or a security alarm; it was for a puppy that was stuck inside an open pit.
The incident, which was reported to the Delhi Fire Service (DFS) at 12.55 am on Friday, triggered a multi-agency rescue operation, an official said.
Equipped with specialised tools, teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the DFS rushed to the Tihar Prison Complex's Gate No 1 and made several attempts to rescue the animal, he added.
But, even after prolonged efforts, the puppy could not be saved, officials said.
"Personnel from multiple agencies, equipped with specialised tools, made several attempts to rescue the puppy, but it could not be saved," an officer said.
The rescue operation continued for over three hours, he added.
