Aizawl to follow strict building laws

Aizawl, Apr 23 : Building regulations will strictly come in force in the Mizoram capital from May two next as part of the effort to streamline construction activities in the burgeoning city, Vice Chairman of the Aizawl Development Authority (ADA) Lalfakzuala said here today.

The Former Chief Secretary told reporters that with strict enforcing of the Building Regulations Act 2005, it would become mandatory for anyone intending to construct a new building or make an extension to obtain prior permission from the ADA.

As part of the plan, the entire Aizawl will be divided into four zones with a site office soon coming up manned by technical people.

To a question about how the ADA would function when the municipality was commissioned, he said even though the 74th constitution amendment called for a merger of the ADA with the civic board, in bigger cities it was the usual practice that development bodies functioned side by side municipalities.
