Imphal, September 23 2015 :
State Government is planning to implement building by-laws in municipal areas of some other districts in line with Imphal Municipal Council (IMC) .
Official sources on Wednesday informed that the concerned Government Departments have started necessary ground work for the plan.
Such by-laws regulate building activities in municipal areas.
As Manipur falls under Seismic Zone V, building activities need regulation for protection from natural calamities.
As of now, IMC building-by law is enforced only in the densely populated Imphal Municipal area.
Since the number of buildings in other municipal areas of the State has also been increased, the Government has felt the necessity of controlling construction affairs, the sources further said.
