Bengaluru: The State Government has now proposed to introduce imprisonment, up to a maximum of two years, with a fine up to Rs.50,000 for offences related to certain types of violation of the laws regulating buildings under the Karnataka Municipal Corporations (KMC) Act, 1976 in various City Corporations across the State, instead of the present rule of only imposing a fine.
Officials or engineers of Municipal Corporations who allow the construction of buildings which violate the building bylaws will also be prosecuted along with the violators.
