Consumer organisation Coimbatore Consumer Cause (CCC) has demanded that all local bodies issue building completion certificates for completed special and multi-storeyed buildings. The government should come out with a system for the same.
System
The government had said a couple of years ago that it is actively considering introduction of a system for issuing completion certificates by planning authorities and the procedures to be followed for issuing the certificates.
Mandatory
However, the government is yet to announce a system. K. Kathirmathiyon, secretary of the organisation, said that if the certificate is made mandatory for all special and multi-storeyed buildings, construction of illegal and unsafe buildings can be checked.
A bench of the High Court recently ordered officials of the Tangedco and TWAD Board to effect services only on receipt of a copy of building completion certificate issued by respective local body.
Except for the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority, no other department or local body issues the certificate as there is no provision for it, he said.
“We do not know the court order could be implemented.” The government should look into this issue and come out with a system for issual of building completion certificate at the earliest, he said.
