Chandigarh Housing Board to have people-friendly policies

Chandigarh, Nov 21 (UNI) For more transparency and people friendly policies, the Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) has decided to further simplify its various official procedures and mechanism.

An official release issued here today said the entire records of CHB related to 42,000 dwelling units have been computerised and would be made online shortly. With this the allottees would be able to view the information relating to their units on internet.

CHB has also reformed the process relating to transfer, making building violations inspections concurrent on the receipt of application for transfer.

Examining the process of inspection of building violations and transfer, CHB has decided to dispense with the necessity of physical verification of building violations before effecting transfer. By this, however, the building violation would not be condoned or sanctioned and the new transferee will continue to be liable for any building violation. In such a case, an appropriate action would be taken as per the prescribed procedures against the transferee.
