DDA clamps down on illegal constructions
The Delhi Development Authority has undertaken a major
drive for removal of all unauthorised rooms, additions and alterations
being carried out by the occupants of its flats at D-6, Vasant Kunj.
A
statement by the Authority said the drive has been ordered by
vice-chairman Balwinder Kumar. It involves both sealing and removal of
all such additions and alterations.
The DDA said it
had come to its notice that a number of occupants of flats had
constructed rooms on the terrace in Narmada, Saraswati, Yamuna and Ganga
apartments. Such illegalities were observed in over 282 flats. In
addition, construction of an additional room on government land was
noted to have been done by the allottees of all the floors in a block.
Stating
that all the allottees/occupants had been advised to remove these
unauthorised constructions on the top floor or on the common portions of
land, the DDA said these constructions included addition of a room
right from the ground level to top floors. It said the occupants were
informed that non-compliance would lead to penal action as per the
provisions of law. The penal action includes demolition, sealing of the
flat, disconnection of electricity or water to the premises, the
Authority said.
