Manipur approves construction of seven storeys buildings

Minister Th. Shyamkumar announced Sunday that the state government has approved construction of seven storey buildings within areas covered by the Imphal Municipal Corporation.
As per the existing bye-law, Manipur government allows constructions of only three storey buildings as the state falls under seismic zone-V, the most earthquake-prone zone.
Shyamkumar said that the amendment was made to the existing building bye-law in order to save the paddy fields and avoid construction at agricultural lands.
Minister Shyamkumar further informed that the amendment was made after discussions with experts and has been included in Manipur gazette published on May 4, 2019.
