Haryana government has issued structural safety guidelines to ensure the safety of residents residing in multi-storey residential buildings. As per the new guidelines, during the construction of any building the construction agency will get the safety standards audited at least thrice or four times.

Addressing various RWA Association representatives present after releasing the Structural Safety Guidelines booklet prepared by the Town and Country Planning Department, Haryana in the concluding session of the SEWOCON Conference held in Gurugram, Khattar also announced to appoint a 'Sampati Pal' to address mutual disputes between RWAs and members.  Also, the disputes related to the accounts maintained by RWAs will be resolved through an empaneled auditor, Khattar said.

A new policy will also be formulated  to fix the rules of handing over to the RWAs for residential complexes developed by the builders and the draft of this Policy will be uploaded on the website for one month so that the RWAs can give their suggestions, after which the Policy will be notified within 60 days. This Policy will also include the RWA internal governance rules.

The Chief Minister announced the appointment of two District Registrars in Gurugram on the demand of RWAs, allottees and others and said that these Registrars would be at par with the Deputy CEO of GMDA.  He also announced the takeover nine major colonies of Gurugram namely Malibu Town, R D City, Rose Wood City, Green Wood City, Mayfield Garden, Vipul Garden, Uppal Southend, Sushant Lok - 1 and 3 by the Urban Local Bodies Department.

Khattar also directed to restart the Allottee Grievance Redressal System under the Chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner for the residents of Gurugram.  He said that since there is no provision of RWA in Plotted Colony, provision will be made in this regard in the new Policy.  Referring to the irregularities committed by the builders, the Chief Minister said that since 1985 till now, out of about 2000 colonizers, only 15 colonizers have obtained the completion certificate.  In such a situation, to provide relief to the allottees, a list of 100 colonizers will be prepared and the premises will be handed over to the RWAs while completing the other services along with removing any  shortcomings related to the completion.

He directed that a Nodal Officer would be specially appointed by the Town and Country Planning Department to complete the above process and as he holds the portfolio of this department, he will regularly monitor the entire process.  He said that organizing the SEWOCON programme is a positive step not only for Gurugram but for the entire state.  "Such  awareness programme for RWAs would be organized every six months and this would also be made an important part of the Policy. Apart from Gurugram, RWA seminars  will also be organized in other urban areas and if no office of Town and Country Planning Department is there in any area, then  seminars will be organized through District Municipal Commissioner," he said.
