C Shivakumar @ Chennai:
There are more than three lakh unauthorized buildings in Chennai but till now only 352 have sought amnesty under the regularization scheme launched by the government which already has given three deadlines.
With less than a month left for the third deadline, Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) has till now received only 3,471 applications for regularisation of unauthorized buildings, according to official sources.
Sources indicated that of the 3,471 applications, only 352 applications have been received with regularization fee and are being processed.
Tamil Nadu government introduced the amnesty scheme after notifying the rules on June 22 last year. The deadline had lapsed on December 21, 2017 and only 35 persons had applied. As such the deadline was again extended till March 20, 2018.
However, due to lack of interest, the deadline was further extended to June 19, 2018.
Sources revealed that the amnesty scheme had few takers as the government has imposed multiple infrastructure and amenities charges as penalty before regularising the buildings.
Sources blame it on a petition being filed in Madras High Court against the Building regularization Scheme under Section 113-C. It is learnt that Madras High court has ordered that CMDA shall receive the applications, process them but not issue orders on them.
As per the rough estimate made in 2007, there were three lakh building in Chennai Metropolitan Area constructed unauthorisedly in deviation to the approved plan. The number would have gone up now .This is due to lack of action and the failure to fix the responsibility resulting in officials turning a blind eye.
Meanwhile under the regularization of unauthorized plots and layouts, it was revealed that as of now 21,660 individual plot owners have registered for the regularization of unapproved individual plots online. To regularize the unapproved plots in unapproved layouts, the local bodies within Chennai Metropolitan Area including Greater Chennai Corporation forwarded to CMDA requesting to approve in-principle layout framework for 891 unapproved layouts of which CMDA approved 670 un approved layouts.
Further 404 layout promoters registered for regularization of unapproved layouts through online. Of these, 117 layout promoters submitted to CMDA the particulars requesting to regularize unapproved layouts.
It is learnt that CMDA has approved 23 unapproved layouts after undertaking due inspection, sources added.
