C-21 lands in trouble, admn to slap notice

INDORE: Indore Development Authority (IDA) has decided to serve notices on commercial complexes including C-21 in connection with violation of land lease agreement in Scheme 54. Also, the decision has been taken to cancel the lease of four plots given to tea and grocery traders for not paying the lease amount even after eight years of allotment. As per the rule, traders had to pay lease amount within three years of allotment.

A report submitted before IDA board found a portion of the mall constructed on plots given to tea and grocery merchants and Mayur Hospital constructed on a residential plot. In 2006, IDA had allotted plots to tea traders and grocery shops on no-profit-no-loss basis for shifting the market from Siyaganj to ease out traffic flow in the city. At least 123 plots were allotted to tea traders, of which, no construction has been done on 52 of them. Similarly, 176 plots were given to grocery shops, of which, 92 plots are without any construction work so far.

Over the year, malls, restaurants and other commercial units developed over it violating the lease agreement. The issue was raised before the IDA board meeting, following which, a committee was constituted to investigate the matter.

IDA chairman Shankar Lalwani said they are only concerned with violation of land deeds. “The report states that plots are not being used for purposes for which they were allotted. We will serve notices for cancellation of lease agreement,” said Lalwani. “We have sought details of the plot on which the mall was constructed,” he added.

Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) and town and country planning are also under scanner in this case. IMC is in spot for sanctioning map of the mall and other commercial units on the plot. Town and country planning is under scanner for joining small plots allotted to traders for construction of the mall, thereby violating rules.
