As per the announcement, the residents of housing colonies built by GHB and state’s slum rehabilitation cell can regularise unauthorised construction in the area except for build-up areas
Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani, on Tuesday made the announcement that all unauthorised constructions in Gujarat Housing Board (GHB) colonies will be regularised at Jantri rates only. The CM, who also hold the portfolio of Urban development and housing claimed that more than one lakh dwellers of GHB colonies will be benefitted through this announcement.
As per the announcement, the residents of housing colonies built by GHB and state's slum rehabilitation cell can regularise unauthorised construction in the area except for build-up areas. This kind of unauthorised residential constructions will be regularised at the payment of utility fees as per the existing Jantri rates of open plots in the same area. Whereas, the commercial constructions will be regularised at the rate of double utility fees as per Jantri. The government will do the registration of the entire construction including unauthorised one as original housing unit.
The chief minister Rupani, while making this announcement said, "This is the pro-people decision of our government and that would benefit more than one lakh poor and middle class families who live in GHB colonies or slum cell housing schemes in state. This will enable them getting right of possession on unauthorised construction in their housing units."
The issue has been pending before the government since 2014 and many dwellers were demanding for the same. The government is expecting to earn good revenue through the regularisation of these constructions giving impetus to new projects of housing construction.
