In a bid to curb Occupation Certificate (OC) violations, the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) Gurugram has created an email ID to lodge complaints related to OC violations in license colonies.
DTCP officials said that the emails sent to them would be resolved within 10 to 15 days and a dedicated team of the enforcement wing would be monitoring the communication with applicants.
The department said on Thursday that emails for violations of OCs can be sent to dtpenfoc@gmail.com.
RS Bhath, the district town planner, said that the purpose of these email IDs is to get OC violation related complaints and to curb further violations in sectors.
"The government has already increased the floor area ratio (FAR) from 145 to 264 in sectors despite the people are making illegal construction like bathroom on balcony and rooms in the stilt parking area," he said.
The official said if anyone gets information about illegal construction can lodge complaints through the email ID along with photos.
"Through emails, we received some complaints that construction work in violation of norms is being carried out in some parts of the city so we took action and 50-60 OC has been cancelled recently and around 100 OC's are under scanner," Bhath said.
"Director-General Department of Town & Country Planning Haryana has given strict orders that OC violations should be controlled otherwise it will be loaded on infrastructure. The department has also formed five teams for regular checking in sectors. The team will submit the report by December 25," he added.
The officials said after stern actions taken by the department OC applications has been reduced earlier from150 to 50. An accurate application that fulfils norms has been cleared within 5-7 days.
"To stop illegal construction after getting an OC we have called Home Developer Associations President and Secretary to inform developers that violations in any term will not be tolerated and if they violated prescribed norms FIR will be registered against them," Bhath mentioned.
