Bihar: Adherence to Local Land-Use Regulations Crucial to Avoid Demolition

Ramnagar (West Champaran) – Before engaging in land transactions, prospective buyers and sellers have been urged to familiarize themselves with local encroachment rules and land-use regulations to prevent potential violations that may lead to the demolition of structures.

For individuals contemplating land purchase for construction purposes, it is imperative to verify the existence of a minimum 20-foot road, as stipulated by the directive from the municipal executive officer. This not only ensures proper access but also guarantees compliance with local regulations.

As per the order issued by Rishikesh Awasthi, the Executive Officer of the municipal council, landowners involved in selling plots within the jurisdiction of the Ramnagar area are obligated to maintain a minimum 20-foot road in the municipal zone.

The directive emphasizes the necessity of sustaining a minimum 20-foot road in urban areas. Both landowners and prospective buyers must ensure the presence of a 20-foot road, and any violation will prompt the municipal office to enforce compliance, even if it entails demolishing structures obstructing the designated road.

In instances where the demolition of a building becomes necessary to establish a 20-foot road in an area where plots are being subdivided and sold without due consideration for regulations, it is recommended for the municipal administration to adopt stringent measures. This ensures compliance with regulations and secures roads for seamless traffic flow in the future.

The proactive approach aims to balance urban development with the preservation of regulatory standards, fostering a well-planned and accessible urban landscape.
