Hundreds of property owners, builders, and architects in Faridabad grappling with prolonged delays and technical gridlock on the digital approval portal have received a major administrative reprieve. Following persistent downtime and technical glitches that left over 250 building proposals for Stilt+4 structures completely stalled, the Town Planning Department has officially issued a formal notification permitting the submission and processing of building plans through an offline mechanism. This swift intervention has successfully unblocked critical construction timelines across the region, restoring momentum to local real estate and development workflows.Delegation and Direct Ministerial InterventionThe breakthrough arrived after a high-level delegation representing the Faridabad Estate Agents Welfare Association, spearheaded by President Akash Gupta alongside key office-bearers including treasurer Himanshu Agarwal, Ashok Agarwal, Satish Nasa, Kapil Garg, Rajesh Tanwar, Anil Bhardwaj, and Rajinder Sharma, personally approached Union Minister of State Krishan Pal Gurjar at his official office. Apprised of the severe financial and procedural distress caused by the non-functional online portal, the Union Minister immediately placed a direct call to Town Planning Department Director Amit Khatri to address the crisis head-on.Streamlining Pending Approvals via Physical SubmissionsDuring the high-level administrative consultation, Director Amit Khatri acknowledged the technical hurdles plaguing the digital infrastructure and committed to an immediate workaround. It was agreed that until the dedicated online portal is fully restored and optimized, all pending and fresh applications for Stilt+4 configurations will be entertained and cleared through manual, offline document verification. Association President Akash Gupta expressed profound gratitude to Minister Gurjar and departmental heads on behalf of the local real estate community, noting that the resolution will accelerate pending files, eliminate bureaucratic logjams, and allow stalled construction projects to resume on schedule.
