The civic body chief Sitaram Kunte will head a committee to outline guidelines on stemming illegal constructions in Maharashtra, chief minister Prithviraj Chavan stated on Thursday.

The committee will chart out action plan against existing illegal constructions and suggest a system to streamline procedures for granting permissions for building construction. Besides the BMC chief, the committee will include the municipal commissioners of Thane, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pune and Ulhasnagar. The metropolitan commissioner, MMRDA, and the CEO of MIDC will also be members. The government's decision seems to be fallout of the Campa Cola mess.
