Ghaziabad Development Authority, developers flouting UP Apartment Act: PIL

NOIDA: A year after the Uttar Pradesh government laid down rules for developers and authorities under the UP Apartment Act, 2010, which contains provisions meant for welfare of owners of housing units in residential societies, a petition has been filed by an Indirapuram resident in the Allahabad high court to ensure its strict implementation. 

"Despite rules laid down by the state government under the Act, they are not being followed by developers and the Ghaziabad Development Authority," said Alok Kumar, the petitioner, resident of a housing society in Indirapuram. "In several instances, purchasers of flats are not given the amenities promised to them at the time of signing of the agreement with the developer," added Kumar. 

The PIL has urged upon the court to ensure that developers submit the mandatory 16-point "form of declaration" as contained within the rules, which specifies all amenities to be made available to the purchaser of a housing unit. The petitioner has also prayed for the court to declare all buildings having four or more apartments as under the ambit of Uttar Pradesh Apartment (Promotion of Construction, Ownership and Maintenance) Rules, 2011, irrespective of the date of construction of the building. 

The rules had been notified by the state government of Uttar Pradesh in November 2011. Counsel for the petitioner, Sudipto Paul, said, "Proper implementation of the rules would ensure that arbitrary changes are not effected to the plans of any project without the consent of the authorities and the RWAs," added Paul.

Located on the Delhi-Meerut highway and spread over 15 acres, the campus offers Wi-Fi facility and is also home to six international-quality cricket pitches,  four basketball courts and a skating rink.

This system allows us to be in touch with the progress in the classrooms. The teachers are very tech-savvy and are extremely organised," said Dr Anju Rai, a gynaecologist, whose two sons study in the school. "If my child is unable to attend school, we can access the lessons taught in class through this system." The school has 3,000 students and 160 permanent teachers led by an award-winning principal.

Auto rickshaws were seen plying on city roads on Monday. (TOI Photo) GHAZIABAD: Three-wheeler autos -- including 3+1 seaters and 6+1 seaters -- have been plying in regular fashion since Monday morning in Ghaziabad despite an indefinite strike called by the union. Autos were seen ferrying passengers at the Vaishali metro station, the terminal point of the metro line in Ghaziabad, on Monday. Autos also have been moving through Mohan Nagar, Link Road, GT Road and other parts of Ghaziabad.  Members of the Ghaziabad Three-Wheeler Auto Chalak Union, however, said the strike has not been called off.  Regular movement of autos in the city on Monday has spared commuters from inconveniences that were faced a day earlier on roads.

Among other demands, the union has asked for the raising of life span of autos with 3+1 capacity from the current eight...
