Akela

THE Maharashtra Urban Development Department has ordered to Ulhasnagar Municipal Commissioner (UMC) Rajendra Nimbalkar to stop work of Konark Residency, a plush but illegal complex in Ulhasnagar city. The government has also ordered commissioner to initiate an enquiry against UMC officials who are responsible for passing the plan of this illegal project.

On November 21, 2017 government issued an order to Ulhasnagar commissioner in this regard. An order copy is available with ABI (Akela Bureau of Investigation). According to government order on November 2, 2017 and November 16, 2017 Deputy Chairman and Legislative Council held two meetings at Mantralaya over illegalities of Konark Residency. The members found project is illegal as under:-

1- In 2007, the UMC officials illegally approved the building plan on industrial plot. There was no law which allows conversion of ‘Industrial’ to ‘Residential’ in 2007.

2- The real land owner Bhagwandas Tolani died few years back but builder produced owner’s power of attorney to develop the land in UMC. UMC officials approved the plan on basis of power of attorney and that was on Rs 50 stamp paper only.

3- During approval the plan builder did not pay tax to government.

4- As per corporation act builder not gave amenity space and also 5% apartment to corporation/ state government.

5- Put the hoarding in front of the building announcing building is illegal for the knowledge of public.
