Digital Desk
In a major push toward urban regulation and revenue enhancement, Raipur Municipal Corporation (RMC) Commissioner Sambit Mishra has ordered a comprehensive crackdown on illegal constructions, unauthorized plotting, and unapproved residential colonies across the city.
During a weekly review meeting, the Commissioner instructed all Zone Commissioners to conduct ground surveys, identify violators within their respective jurisdictions, and initiate strict legal action without delay.
Key Highlights of the RMC Enforcement Drive
1. Survey on Illegal Constructions & Commercial Parking
-
Illegal Colonies: Zone Commissioners must survey and map all unauthorized colonies, illegal land sub-divisions, and unapproved buildings.
-
Commercial Complexes: A detailed audit is mandated for commercial establishments operating along major arterial roads without adequate parking facilities.
-
Follow-up Action: Establishments failing to meet parking norms will face regulatory action based on survey reports.
2. Strict Action Against Big Tax Defaulters
-
Property Seizure: RMC officials, including Assistant Revenue Officers, have been directed to accelerate tax collection to hit targets.
-
Attachment & Sealing: Strict recovery protocols—including property attachment and sealing—will be initiated against major property tax defaulters.
-
Early Payment Rebate: To encourage voluntary compliance, taxpayers paying their property tax by September 30, 2026, will receive a 5% rebate.
3. Water Management & Illegal Connections
-
Regularization Drive: RMC is intensifying its campaign to regularize illegal tap water connections. Officials are tasked with raising public awareness and clearing pending applications promptly.
-
'Catch the Rain' Initiative: Rainwater harvesting is being prioritized across all municipal wards to bolster groundwater levels, supported by community awareness campaigns.
4. Environmental Norms, Sanitation, and Fines
-
Construction Regulations: Fines will be imposed on sites operating without required green safety netting and those violating Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste guidelines.
-
Digital Enforcement: Penalties for C&D waste violations will be processed directly through e-challans.
-
Encroachment & Anti-Littering: Continuous penalty drives will target public littering and unauthorized road encroachments.
5. Grievance Redressal & Affordable Housing
-
Timely Resolution: Field officers must ensure time-bound resolution of complaints originating from the CM Helpline, Collector Call Center, Nidan-1100, and public representatives.
-
PMAY Progress: Construction under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is being fast-tracked, with orders to expedite housing delivery for eligible Beneficiary-Led Construction (BLC) candidates.
