Following spate of complaints against colonizers and builders across the city, Indore collector P Narhari here on Tuesday suggested the residents to constitute Residents’ Association (Rahwaasi Sangh) in their respective colonies, townships, residential apartments under section 18 of the Madhya Pradesh Properties Act 2000 so as to monitor all property related activities, facilities and administrative actions in their respective colonies and get the same registered with the SDMs of respective localities.
Collector said that it has been made mandatory for all colonizers and builders to collector completion certificates for their colonies, multi-storey residential buildings either from the collectorate or from the Indore Municipal Corporation and thereafter hand over their colonies, multy-storey buildings to the Indore municipal corporation. In case colonizers and builders have taken maintenance fees from the residents and in case maintenance fees are due as per the agreement, the whole amount of maintenance fees would be transferred into the accounts of Residents Association, the collector said.
Collector in this regard, directed all the SDMs to take prompt action if they receive any complaints related to non-completion of colonies, buildings or lack of amenities in the colonies and residential buildings. He asked the SDMs to essentially attach completion certificates of builders, colonizers while registering the Residents Associations and after formation of the Residents Associations as per its rules will collect maintenance fees from the residents and no interference of either colonizers or builders would be allowed in this regard.
