MCC Commissioner K Harish Kumar told TOI that transportation of earth during monsoon was causing problems and will not be allowed. ``The wet mud spilled on the concrete roads while transporting will be a hazard to motorists due to its slippery nature, but also cause blocks in the drains when it flows down the drains during rains,'' he said.
He has issued a notice banning digging and transportation of soil by people undertaking construction activity and builders from construction sites during the monsoon. The building construction licenses of such persons will be cancelled without any notice if they are found indulging in this action, said Kumar.
On Thursday, the corporation officials seized three trucks transporting earth. ``The officials have been told to visit each and every construction site and see whether they have stopped this activity. If not we will come down heavily on them,'' he added.
The commissioner said it is understandable that the developers commence work when they submit development plan to Mangalore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) without obtaining licence as they deem it will be granted in due time. ``It is not wrong, but creating nuisance by this activity will not be tolerated and their licences will be cancelled or withheld,'' he said.
PMA Razak, president, Mangalore Chapter of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI), said all its members were adhering to the guidelines issued by the corporation. ``Credai has only 30 members of the 100 odd builders in the city. We can ensure that our members follow rules,'' he added.
But even on Friday, there are several sites in the city where such activity is going on unmindful of commissioner's directive.
