Layout permissions to go online in AP.

The Andhra Pradesh Government will soon give online permissions for construction of houses and buildings. It will deploy relevant GPS (global position system) solutions to give permissions not later than a week.

With a view to ensuring transparency in the functioning of Town Planning Department, the Municipal Administration Ministry will link the permissions with GPS information solutions.

At a review meeting held recently, Municipal Administration Minister P Narayana said the officials should evolve a plan to reduce the time lags in clearing the applications that seek permissions for layouts and construction.

'We will take a serious view on allegations of corruption and delays,' he said, according to a statement from the government.
