VISAKHAPATNAM: The
Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority (Vuda) has embarked on a drive
against unauthorised layouts in its limits. The drive, which
kick-started on Monday, continued for the second day on Tuesday.
Refusing to furnish the details of the drive, the Vuda vice chairman N Yuvaraj told TOI that they would continue the drive till all the illegal layouts are removed and put up the details of illegal layouts every week on their website.
"We formed a 11-member enforcement committee to take up the drive and sent notices to the all members too on April 2 before officially beginning the drive on Monday," said Yuvaraj.
On Monday alone, the enforcement team headed by chief urban planner RJ Vidyullatha conducted raids on illegal layouts in Anakapalle and Achyuthapuram mandals in the district.
The team took action against unauthorised layout developers including Ch Satyam and others at survey number 480/1P and 2P in an area of three acres, B Satyam and others in survey number 472/6B, 473, 474/1 to 5 across 4.87 acres, Durga Layout by B Dhana Lakshmi on 2.06 acres in survey numbers 294/3, 294/8, 294/3A and P Manikyam over 0.80 acres in survey number 482/1 of Tummapala village of Anakapalle.
Roads, boundary pillars and plotting stones were removed by the special team headed by V Ramkumar, deputy director of Petroleum, Chemicals and Petrochemical Investment Region (PCPIR), with the help of the village secretary.
Vuda has also sought the assistance of AP Real Estate Developers Association (APREDA) to prevent unauthorised layouts from mushrooming in the Visakhapatnam metropolitan area.
Yuvaraj said that the urban development body has also started to take up awareness campaigns in association with APREDA to caution people from purchasing plots in illegal layouts apart from installing hoardings at various places and making information related to unauthorised layouts public.
