Jammu, Dec 20: A special session of General House of Jammu Municipal Corporation was assembled today for adoption of Unified Building Bye Laws-2021.
Many suggestions were extended by the members for adoption of Unified Building By Laws-2021.
Chief Whip of Congress, Dwarka Chowdhary said for building permission involving structures meant for commercial purpose the rule of 30 ft road is perfect but housing colonies should be barred from this regulation.
He also suggested that for future private colonies, width of the road should be fixed in advance and this should be done by JMC & also questioned on inactivity of enforcement wing of the JMC on extended galleries and ramps in residential areas.
He said that unregularised colonies should be regularized by the JMC so that the people may get ownership rights over their residential houses.
Bhanu Mahajan of Ward 21 demanded amendment in By Laws to facilitate division of property among siblings as presently, she claimed, no map is approved for such divided structures by the JMC resulting which the stakeholders have to go for illegal means involving greasing of palms of those at helm at JMC & an amendment in this regard will reduce corruption and the people will construct their homes with dignity.
Rajninder Sharma of Ward 16 said that no objection certificates from PHE, UEED etc should be avoided using technology and verification of land title by Parwari should be rendered of no use using website www.landrecord.jk.gov.in which contains land records of all people as digitalization of land records has been done now.
The JMC Mayor, Chander Mohan Gupta informed that to address the issues raised by some of the Councillors, they have constituted of a Committee under the Chairpersonship of Deputy Mayor, Purnima Sharma which will submit a comprehensive report regarding amendments to the Unified Building By Laws – 2021 document within a week.
Gupta said that six members of the Committee are JMC Councillors Sanjay Baru, Rajinder Sharma and Pawan Singh while other three members are technical personnel of JMC including Anil Raina, Chief Town Planner; Law Officer, Rupali and Vishal Abrol, Architect.
There were many issues of PWD and its Chief Engineer was also called in the session today,”the Mayor said adding that issue like, PWD selectively repairs main roads above 20 ft width and leaves such roads at periphery, was brought into the notice of the Chief Engineer.
However, it remained a question on incompoetant bosses of JDA as they are already notorious in different issues of harassment to innocents over Zonal Plan issues, deciding land use on its own preferred way again closed its eyes over submission of some required modifications to Govt as required?
