Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development KT Rama Rao on Thursday said the “TS-Bpass” envisages transparent and corruption-free citizen services for the people of the State and as a crucial step in that direction, building construction approvals must be granted within 21 days.
“There is no comprise in this regard,” he made it clear to the municipal commissioners. He informed them that the government
was formulating stringent laws to curb corruption and that it would not hesitate in implementing those laws strictly. “If someone resorts to corrupt practices, even after the government making its intention amply clear, there won’t be nominal suspensions anymore. The corrupt officer will lose his or her job,” Rama Rao said, adding that the process of building approvals would be monitored from Hyderabad.
