Mysore/Mysuru, Jan. 25 -- The Nirman 2.0 website, launched by the State Government to streamline and bring transparency to the building plan approval process, has been hacked and has remained non-functional for the past 20 days, severely affecting residents of Mysuru and neighbouring local bodies seeking building licences.

The Karnataka State Data Centre (KSDC), which manages Nirman 2.0, has suspended public access to the portal following software glitches and cyber attacks.

Officials said an internal and external audit is underway and that it may take two to three weeks to complete the process and restore the system.

Nirman 2.0 was introduced to allow applicants to upload property documents and building plans online.

These are scruti...
