Ghaziabad Development Authority seals 170 flats in Indirapuram
GHAZIABAD: The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) on Sunday cracked down on the Amrapali group and sealed 170 flats in Amrapali Village Apartments in Nyay Khand-II in Indirapuram for violating building bylaws. The authority has also sent a notice to the builder asking it to respond within a set time frame.
Speaking to TOI, GDA vice-chairman Santosh Kumar Yadav confirmed that a team had found the builder illegally constructing two towers with 68 and 102 flats inside its already existing Amrapali Village housing complex in Indirapuram.
"The team found Tower L with 17 floors, having 68 flats, and Tower K with 17 floors, having 102 flats being constructed illegally," Yadav said.
"In the layout plan submitted with the GDA, the construction company had earmarked park and public utility in the designated spaces. However, on visiting the complex, our survey team found that there were two towers on the said location clearing violating the bylaws," Yadav said.
The real estate company chairman and managing director, Anil Sharma, said that they will be making a fresh layout plan to be submitted before the GDA. The company is ready to pay the compounding fees to resume work on its housing project.
GDA officials said that the company had first released its project map on September 19, 2005 displaying an area of 32,000 sqm. But on July 23, 2010, the company changed the map after submitting compounding fees. The company reportedly is yet to submit Rs 6.50 crore as compounding fees.
The authority has been conducting a physical verification drive of buildings across the city. The maps submitted by the builders are being physically verified by several teams. The drive is being carried out in all eight zones of the authority from Zone 1 to 8.
