The Manohar Lal Khattar Government in Haryana will soon constitute Faridabad Metro Development Authority (FMDA) on the pattern of Gurugram Metro Development Authority (GMDA) to provide basic infrastructure facilities to the people residing in Faridabad.
Addressing a news conference here to highlight achievements and future plans of Town & Country Planning Department here, Chief Minister Manohar Lal said that since Faridabad is the second largest city of the state after Gurugram, it has been decided to constitute FMDA to make available all infrastructure facilities to the people and also address their problems.
The State Government had constituted the GMDA on August 12, 2017 thus fulfilled the long pending demand of the people, he said.
He also announced that the government has allowed the construction of four-storey residential buildings in the state, the registration of which will be opened from September 13 onward.
He said that Haryana Building Code – 2017 has been framed in order to remove variations and bring uniformity in building bye-laws adopted by different development agencies.
The Chief Minister also announced to constitute an Appellate Tribunal to hear the complaints of allottees against the decision of Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HRERA). The office of the Appellate Tribunal would be set up at Karnal, he said.
He said that the State Government has set up Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HRERA) to redress the grievances of allotees.
Though geographically, Haryana is comparatively a small state, we have set up two separate Authorities- one at Gurugram to exclusively deal with the cases of Gurugram and the second one at Panchkula to deal with the cases of rest of Haryana, Manohar Lal said.
The Chief Minister said that HRERA has so far received 842 complaints out of which 209 complaints have already been disposed off. Remaining complaints would also be redressed soon, he asserted.
He further said that with a view to inject transparency in the allotment of sites for petrol pumps and CNG filling stations, the Haryana Government has decided to allot such sites through auction process.
The petrol pumps and CNG filling stations sites would be allotted only to the petroleum companies on lease. The allotment of the sites would start from next month and the petroleum company offering highest bid money would be allotted the sites, he added.
Apart from this, he announced that the Haryana Shehari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) plans to float nine sectors including a defence sector exclusively for defence personnel in the state during the current financial year.
This would be in three sectors in Mahendergarh (sector-9A, 10, 11-Part) and one each in Bhiwani (23 Part-II), Yamuna Nagar (sector-24), Dabwali (sector-10), Taoru (sector-7) and Pinjore (sector-27). Apart from this, a defence sector exclusively for defence personnel is likely to be floated at Jhajjar, he said.
He informed that the HSVP has a plan to float 30,470 plots in 47 residential sectors across the state and a schedule in this regard will be issued soon. At present, 9500 acre land valuing Rs 18,000 crore is available with the HSVP, he said while answering a query.
The Chief Minister also announced to rename the metro stations falling in Haryana segment on Bahadurgarh to Mundka Metro line and metro stations on the Mujesar (YMCA Chowk) to Ballabhgarh metro corridor.
