Monitoring Committee member seeks factual report on relaxing DR for medical college

Chennai:
Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority relaxed the provision of
development regulations for construction of Sri Muthukumaran
Educational Trust Buildings at Chikkarayapuram village on April 2015
despite allegations against the trust submitting a forged document to
Medical Council of India seeking recognition to Medical College.
It is learnt that the Trust forged the documents and submitted it to
the Medical Council of India stating that the building was approved by
CMDA by order Number TN/CMDA/HB: 2077 dated 2008.
Surprisingly, the trust never obtained building plan approval for any
of the buildings of any of the institutions run by them and it was
only on July 2013 that a planning permission was sought nearly three
years after the commencement of a medical college.
Surprisingly, the planning permission for the college was submitted
only after students of the college sent a complaint to the Medical
council of India on June 2013.
Madras high court has observed in 2014 that all the buildings put up
by the Trust were without the approval of CMDA.
A non-official member of Madras High Court appointed Monitoring
Committee M G Deivasahayam told Express that he has opposed the
relaxation of development regulations and sought a factual report to
be placed before the next session of monitoring committee so that it
can be brought to the notice of Madras High Court.
“I will be submitting before the Madras high Court on how they relaxed
the development regulations for the educational building of the trust
which was built on a public water course and has been highlighted by a
order of Madras High Court,” said Deivasahayam.
Interestingly, Madras High Court judge V Ramasubramanian has
questioned the move by the trust, which submitted a letter to CMDA
from Public Works department for re-routing a water channel.
“The college appears to be located not only in land owned by the trust
but also in a land that happens to be a public water course. How could
the PWD give no-objection certificate for re-routing a channel in the
light of special enactment of Tamil Nadu Protection of Tanks and
Eviction of Encroachments Act 2007,” the judge has observed.
Surprisingly, CMDA has relaxed the development regulations for all the
buildings in exercise of powers conferred by Section 113 of Tamil Nadu
Town and Country Planning Act 1971.
