BMC accepts NAREDCO’s demand, allows teams at construction sites

21 Apr 2021 Editorial Team

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has given its nod to the National Real Estate Development Council's (NAREDCO) demand for allowing all architects, supervisors and engineers at construction sites on condition of following strict Covid safety protocols.

It will also facilitate monsoon related building repair works where such personnel will be required for carrying out the work for the safety of the public and the safety of the building structures.

Separate passes will not be issued for such supervisory personnel. However, while travelling, they can carry their identity cards, clarified the BMC in its revised notification on construction activities permitted in this pandemic.

The BMC, however, on second demand of real estate stakeholders regarding the transportation of construction workers from outside to the sites, has stated that it must be avoided, except for the material movement.

Real estate stakeholders have also urged the government for their support.

Ashok Mohanani, President, NAREDCO Maharashtra, told the media that although both the central and state governments have taken ample measures to support the sector, they need to ensure that the momentum continues.

Mohanani said that the current lockdown has already affected real estate sales during festive periods, and it would lead to further difficulties without any support from the government.
