The Thiruvananthapuram Corporation administration is now facing flak for undue delay in clearing building permit applications.

Opposition Left Democratic Front (LDF) Parliamentary Party leader S.P.Deepak has flagged the backlog of building permit applications, which he said is a failure on the part of the Corporation administration, and has urged the State government to intervene immediately.

He said that the previous LDF government had implemented the KSMART application for local self-government institutions, designed to ensure that the public could get things done in a transparent and swift manner. The permit requirement was also waived for buildings up to 300 sq m. Despite this, there is serious negligence within the Corporation regarding the issuance of building construction permits, said Mr.Deepak, who raised suspicion that the KSMART application is being bypassed.
