    Also, The issue of Illegal construction is heating up on TV Channels like CNN-IBN.

    I think we should not waste much time file the RTI as soon as possible.

    Please give this RTI special preference ahead of others and make most of the opportunity and circumstances prevailing.

    Also, I will make my efforts to contact media and highlight this RTI.

      It takes a minimum of 30 days legally for them to reply. But we have seen that most times, they have taken more time.
      Don’t worry, we are on the top of every post/request thats put here …

      We maybe slow in responding sometimes, but we will eventually get to it .. BE ASSURED !!!!

    The reply said that no planning permission was issued by CMDA(in computer)for Old No. 145, New No.299, Linghi Chetty Street,Parrys, Chennai-I.Hence the information required is not available in CMDA.

    What does ‘in computer’ mean?? Have they given permission manually (outside computer) ?? What should be the next course of action??

    Has some other authority issued planning permission??

    Should we infer from the reply that – the building was constructed without planning permission??
