The Municipal Corporation has continuously been issuing notices for recovery of dues from them the defaulters to whom it had allotted shops, kiosks and residential houses.
Housing in-charge Vijay Sherekar said that notice has been issued to Jhamibai for recovery of Rs 14,007 and Damayanti Soni Rs 56,028, to whom the corporation had allotted shops in the Jawahar Nagar Mahila Samriddhi Bazar.
On the instruction of commissioner Anil Tuteja, notice has been issued to the defaulters to whom houses had been allotted under different schemes for recovery of dues. Demand notice has been issued to 236 persons in Basant Vihar Vanbe housing. Notice has been pasted on 65 houses. On inspection, it was found that 80 houses have been given on rent, 65 houses have been sold out and people have encroached 26 houses and residing in them.
The residents of the colony alleged that there were no arrangement for water, electricity and sewerage in the houses allotted by the corporation and they had to lead hellish life there. The residents had complained from corporation office to zone office, but the corporation is not interested in providing basic amenities to the people. Therefore, if the corporation would provide basic facilities, they were ready to pay the dues regularly, they said.
In-charge officer said that the defaulters have not remitted the dues since 2007. About 14 notices have been issued to the beneficiaries so far. Rs50,000 has to be recovered in 15 years from the beneficiaries. The corporation is getting ready to take strict action against the defaulters, he added.
