Housing and Residential Sector
Around 6,00,000 families got house (Flats) in Dwarka till 2010. Due to the CGHS scam many families are affected and have not yet been able to move into their flats. Still number of societies is waiting for draw. Recently another list of 57 societies (CGHS) have been cleared by Delhi High Court, however their allotment process may take some time.
An association called Association of Co-operative Affected Members (AOCAM) has been formed by the affected members of this CBI scam. The objective of the association is to fight for expediting the flat allotment process for these societies.
During last week of May, 2009 RCS/Secretary cooperative department of Delhi Government has asked for advise on allotment process for the 57 societies from Law department of Delhi Government specially with respect of charge sheeted members and those who have contested CBI charge sheet. Law department had provided the response in the month of October'2009. Subsequent to that the allotment of flats to cooperative members is still held up. RCS department has posted a public notice for 57 societies to submit their documents in October'09. Most of the societies from among 57 societies have already submitted their documents but RCS has not scrutinized nor forwarded the same to Chopra committee.
During the first week of 2010 about 11 Cooperative Group Housing Societies (CGHS) in Dwarka conducted self-allotment and began moving into their new flats, the Delhi government has written to the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) asking the agency to evict them and termed the allotment 'illegal'.
Delhi Chief Minister Ms Sheela Dixit intervened on the same and conducted a workshop with Regaisrar Office and CGHS members to expedite the process of allotment in the month of Feb 2010. The Registrar of Cooperative Group Housing Societies (CGHS) has agreed to provide a single window of operation to reduce corruption and to expedite the allotment.
The RCS website has started posting the status of 57 CGHS for document scrutiny and completion. It seems the documents have not been returned by CBI to RCS office in many cases and DDA has created some legal obstructions relating to parking norms that prevents many CGHS getting a Completion Certificate (CC) or Provisional Occupancy certificate (POC).
Allotment process still remains in abeyance with RCS/cooperative department of Delhi Government, till that time about 6000 families which are part of these 57 societies will continue to suffer by living in rented homes and paying EMI for the loan for these apartments.
Consolidated statement status of the 57 societies as on Feb 2010 to facilitate one and all have a quick look. Out of 57 Societies, a majority of 36 societies have not yet received POC/CC. There are seven societies, which have undergone self-draw. Records of 20 societies from the CBI are yet to be received. 46 societies records are still under scrutiny.
57 societies have a total number of 5176 members (except LORDS CGHS LTD for which freeze number of members are not available). If these 5176 members pay an average property tax of Rs. 10000/- per year, the Govt gets Rs. 51760000/- p a and its citizens pay an average rent of Rs. 15000/- p m, aggregating to Rs. 931680000/- p a. Which means a loss of Rs. 6 Crore p.a to the State and Rs. 93 Crores to the Citizens pocket.
No concrete action was taken by Delhi government to resolve the apathy of the suffering members of the 48+57 cooperative societies, the CGHS members for about 6 societies again in the month of June, 2010 conducted self draw. Angered over the self draw of lots, Cooperative Minister Raj Kumar Chouhan said government will also cancel water and power connection to the flats and ask police to take strict action against the societies involved in the self draw.
Co-operative Group housing forms a major component of housing type in Dwarka.
Each of the residential sectors has been envisaged to be self contained communities and has been designed for a population of about 30,000 each.
Area of each sector is about 81 ha. (900 m x 900 m)
Each sector is bounded on all sides by arterial roads of 45 m and 60 m.wide
From arterial roads only 4 entries have been taken into the sector at a minimum distance of 450 m.
A network of cycle tracks and pedestrian pathways has been proposed within each sector which link the housing clusters and their facilities within each sector.
Sector 16b and 17a are the new booming areas within the sub city as the areas has seen various universities being established in recent times.
DWARKA FORUM (Regd) a forum which connects a large number of residents, RWA representatives and CGHS Representatives play very crucial roles. Issues are discussed threadbare and find solution through representation and RTI.
Data has been taken from diferent sources.
