Regularisation of 24 colonies to be tabled in Gurugram civic body’s house meet
GURUGRAM: The MCG will take a decision on regularising 24 illegal colonies in its upcoming
meeting on June 27. Out of 24 colonies, six are in Badshapur, five in Choma, four
in Bhondsi and two in Sarai Alawardi.
The biggest of these 24 illegal colonies is New Palam Vihar Colony Pocket 1 and 2 which is
spread across 525.3 acres in Choma, Sarai Alawari and Pawala Khusurpur. TOI had reported
on June 14 that MCG has received a list of 24 colonies from the department of urban local
bodies (ULB) to be considered for regularisation.
“If the MCG House grants an in-principle approval to 24 colonies, our survey will follow to check
whether these colonies fit in the criteria set by the state government to regularise them, only
then they will be regularised. On the directions of the ULB department, a resolution for approval
of this list has now been sought,” said Siddharth Sankalp, assistant town planner, MCG.
The MCG teams have been trying to contact RWAs and developers to prepare layout plans of
the colonies and demarcate community facilities such as parks, roads, community centres etc. If
approved by the MCG, these colonies will be declared as “civic amenities
and infrastructure deficient areas”.
A drone survey of the 24 colonies is being done. MCG in April had constituted ward-wise teams,
comprising junior engineers and patwaris, to start surveying unauthorised residential colonies
falling under the civic body’s jurisdiction.
“The Haryana Management of Civic Amenities and Infrastructure Deficient Municipal Areas
(Special Provisions) Act was enacted with the objective of providing essential services in the
civic amenities deficient areas. The object of the enactment is to improve the living conditions of
the inhabitants of the state,” read the proposal to be tabled in the MCG House meeting to be
held on June 27.
According to the revised norms under Section 3 of the Haryana Management of Civic Amenities
and Infrastructure Deficient Municipal Areas (Special Provisions) Act to regularise residential
colonies, if a colony is 25% developed, 35% of the total area will has to be reserved for roads,
parks and other infrastructure.
No road should be less than nine metres in width and the approach road should not be less than
12 metres in width. The other categories include colonies with a built-up area between 25% and
50%, between 50% and 75% and more than 75%.
