AMC to start regularsing illegal bldgs from Monday Saturday, September 8, 2001

The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) will start regularising illegal constructions in the city from Monday. Following publication of Gujarat Regularisation of Unauthorised Development Ordinance 2001 in the Government gazette, AMC will start the procedure on 9,200-odd illegal constructions within its limits.


The year-long process will fetch AMC Rs 20 crore and by the end of the exercise, all illegal structures constructed before November 21, 2001 will be regularised after impact fee is paid. The civic body will start issuing BU permissions from mid-November. The fund collected through impact fees will be deposited in an Infrastructure Development Fund that will be used for the city.


Municipal Commissioner K Kailashnathan said that AMC has received a copy of the impact fee rules on Friday and the process will begin from next week. "While I expect 25 per cent of buildings to be regularised voluntarily by people, special attention will be paid in regularising commercial high-rises," Kailashnathan said.


In a bid to speed up the regularisation process, AMC is planning to hold Lok Darbars once a week, so that people can get a fair deal in a short time. The AMC will also publish and circulate a booklet, giving people all necessary information needed to get structures regularised.


The AMC has set a time frame of six months to fill and submit application forms after which the Corporation will start issuing notices to those who have not paid. AMC has decided to accord top priority to structural stability of buildings' as illegal constructions will have to be regularised.


"The new rules have reduced by half, impact fee rates for even 100 square metre constructions. Most city apartments and tenements will be covered under this and thus this will be a relief," said DyMC Vinay Vyasa, who is overseeing the implementation of impact fee.
