Assurance on building plans

KOCHI: A seminar, organised here today, on the Pre-Development Control Regulation (Pre-DCR) tool box being implemented in Kochi Corporation for online submission of building plan approvals, gave an opportunity for architects and the public to express their doubts on the issue.

One of the main concerns raised during the seminar was the confidentiality and security of the building plan submitted online. After the representative of Softech Software Limited, which had come up with the software, explained the process, Ajith B. Patel, Corporation secretary, said that the drawings submitted are stored at the state-of-the-art data centre managed by the IT Mission, whose security is vouched by the State Government.
