Ahmedabad: The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has decided to give on lease 1,102 plots along with superstructure, to the occupants in the four Rabari colonies of Jashodanagar, Odhav and Amraiwadi.The plots were given to the community members decades ago to rear cattle outside the then city limits. But now it has been decided to allot each plots on 99-year-leases to avoid hassles involved with rent collection, said Standing Committee Chairman Asit Vora.
He said the occupants will be given six months to accept the offer on the condition that they will pay the pending dues towards rent with the accrual interest.
The average size of a plot has been fixed at 350 sq mt in old Jashodanagar Rabari colony, which contains 136 plots; at 223 sq m in new Jashodanagar Rabari colony, which has 223 plots; at 180 sq m in Amraiwadi where 212 plots are located, and the remaining in Odhav at 295 square metre.
It has been made a precondition that the occupants wanting to get the plots will have to remove all encroachments on their own free will, failing which no registration of documents will be made, Vora said.
The price for the plots has been fixed at Rs 2,000 per sq m for the land and Rs 80,000 per sq m for the superstructures. The interest on dues outstanding will be calculated at 10 per cent simple interest, he said.
