Delhi Congress president Ajay Maken has given his suggestions to the Delhi Development Agency's Commissioner in response to DDA's public notice which invited public suggestions on the proposal to changes in the 'Master plan 2021.
Maken said that there is no justification in charging annual conversion charges for more than 10 years as the rates of conversion charges as calculated in regulations of 2006 as amended on June 22, 2007 clearly indicate that the annual conversion charges were for 10 years and one-time conversion charges were eight times the annual conversion charges. “This regulation is still applicable as no fresh amendment was carried out after that regulation,” he said.
He said that apart from the Delhi Government (GNCTD), the DDA should also be authorised to notify 351 streets and other notification on the recommendation of the concerned local bodies.
He further highlighted that most of the local shopping centres or shop-cum-residences date pre-1962 and these shopping centres had parking spaces earmarked for them in the vicinity.
