Disclosing this here today, the Industries and Commerce Minister Mr. Sunder Sham Arora said that from now on, all the requisite permissions regarding various industrial units would be accorded through a Single Joint Site Inspection System in order to save the time and speed up the construction process in the industrial sector.
He also said that for the facilitation of the investors the competent authorities would give info in advance before proceeding to inspect the sites and ensure the submission of all inspection reports within 48 hours.
Mr. Arora further divulged that under the system, the site/building plan of site, Fire, Water, Sewerage and Power related inspections would be made in a single day. He also added that automatic computerized risk assessment system has also been put in place for registering the specifications of the building and complete info regarding risk criteria, inspection process and investigation list to ensure transparency.
