No Occupancy Certificate, If You Don’t Have Rainwater Pit

Sep 18,2018 / By Priyanka / No Comment

Recently, the Huda has decided to give occupation certificates (OC) only to those constructions that have functional rainwater harvesting wells, and officers are asked to stringently monitor it before allotting the occupation certificate.

The order came into being after a meeting attended by Principal Secretary of Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) in August.

The concerned officials have been asked to prepare lists of all rainwater harvesting wells on plots carved out in urban estates across Haryana, and submit the list to the office of Town Planners and the State Government’s engineering cell.

Executive engineers will have to comment in their reports about functional rain harvesting pits dug on every 200-sq-yard plots. A recent investigation has publicized that there is no record of such properties with the engineering cell as occupation and completion are issued by estate officers at their level.

In October 2001, Huda had issued a notice, declaring that a detailed proposal of the harvesting system comprising the collection, transportation, and distribution of water from rooftop to pits will have to be shown in building plans submitted to the approval bureau.

According to the guidelines, any engineer who is below the rank of a Huda executive engineer will not have the commands to inspect the system.

It has been instructed that any completion and occupation certificates will now be issued only after the complete report of harvesting well is submitted by the executive engineer.

Bengaluru’s PRR will be an Elevated Corridor now

Sep 13,2018 / By Priyanka / No Comment

The Bengaluru Development Authority has decided to make the much delayed Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) an elevated corridor that will be assimilated with Namma Metro. The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G. Parameshwara, who also chairs the BDA, last week.

BDA Commissioner Rakesh Singh said, “We have prepared a cabinet note and will start work on the Detailed Project Report (DPR) after the cabinet grants approval.”

The PRR, a 65-km ring road around the city, has been in the pipeline for more than 20 years. The Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA) was ready to fund the infrastructure part of the project. However, the land acquisition cost, which was to be borne by the State government has blown up to over ₹8,000 crore, putting the project in the middle

To reduce the land acquisition cost, the BDA has decided to make PRR into an elevated corridor. It was also decided to integrate a Namma Metro line on the median. Going elevated and integrating a Namma Metro line will definitely raise the infrastructure cost of the project. The BDA will start fresh negotiations with JICA over the loan,” a senior official said.

Work on Shivarama Karanth Layout picks up the pace

Bengaluru Development Minister and Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G. Parameshwara said that the proposal for the final notification for 3,564 acres in 17 villages near Doddaballapur will be approved by the cabinet soon. The layout is estimated to have over 19,000 sites.

The project clashed after the High Court defeated the preliminary notification in 2015 following several lawsuits by land-owners. But in August, the Supreme Court had directed the State government to do a final report for land acquisition for the layout in the coming three months.

Dr. G. Parameshwara also said that the next installment of 5,000 sites in Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout will be given away through a lottery from among applicants on September 25, 2018.

Repayment on BDA flats

The BDA has decided to give a refund on its flats. It will offer a 5% rebate on all flats and a 10% discount for those who buy more than 10 flats at a time.

Decor tips to brighten up your abode this Monsoon

Aug 31,2018 / By Priyanka / No Comment

Monsoon can make your home look dull and glum. Lift your space and revamp your home in smart ways to suit the season. Rains are meant to be enjoyed. Make sure your home is well prepared to welcome the monsoon season and you do not have unexpected surprises when it comes to home repairs!

Quality is the key: The challenging weather can sometimes be unfriendly to the materials used in a bedroom. Soft materials such as suede should be eluded as it can easily be damaged by high levels of moisture.

Let the colors pop: Rains can lead to an overall gloomy environment. A great way to beat the dullness is to incorporate a lot of colors in your dwelling. It can be in the form of colorful décor items (table lamps, vases, paintings and wall art), curtains, and cushions. Pick vibrant colors like yellow, bright pink and, orange to vivify up your home instantly and lift your spirits.

Curtains: Curtains plays an important role in home décor mainly during the monsoon seasons sheer lightweight curtains will definitely give a delicate yet classy look. Also, Sheer curtains do allow passing the cool breeze into your home.

Outdoor furniture: Redo your outdoor living space or balcony, if you wish to enjoy the cool breeze and watch at freshly bathed plants in the comfort of your home. If you wish, you can rent a few furniture pieces to enjoy the outdoor experience and cover the space with inexpensive canopies and umbrellas.

Water Proofing: Moistness and seepage is a common problem people face during Monsoon season. To overcome this, waterproofing your walls from the inside and outside is a wise step to take before the rainy season starts.

Select high-absorbent doormats: Make sure you pick high-absorbent doormats in this season to avoid masses of mud getting inside your abode. Keep away your carpets as they can easily attract mold. You can also make doormats from waste clothes using attractive colors and designs.

A Look over Your Wooden Furniture: For those who are lovers of wood furniture, it’s time to show some love and care of your prized possessions. Wood is most sensitive to the rainy season. Moisture and humidity are usually the main culprits that destroy your wooden assets. Make sure you polish and varnish your wooden furniture and fittings well before the monsoon starts because drying of the polish could be another problem to tackle if it is done once the rains start.

Tips to Keep Your Home Dengue-Free

Aug 7,2018 / By Priyanka / No Comment

A hygienic home releases positive energy and is a better place to live. With mosquito-borne diseases on the escalation, it is important to make sure that there is no breeding ground for mosquitoes. Besides sweeping the house daily, one should also adopt a weekly routine, of thoroughly cleaning all the corners in the house, cleaning carpets and dust-laden ceiling fans. Similarly, swimming pools should be cleaned from time to time and fogging should be done frequently.

An increasing number of homeowners are now appointing specialized cleaning services for their homes. Dengue is one epidemic that needs your complete attention. Instead of just freaking out you should find ways through which you could get rid of those mosquitoes. Here is how you could make your house a dengue-free zone!

Keep bathroom and kitchen dry: These places are the generally damp areas of the house. Check the bottom of your refrigerator, empty out the cooler if you are using one, clean out dish rack tray, cover toilet bowls, and trash bins, throw away wet kitchen waste and mop the floor.

Ensure your window and door screens do not have holes: Cool breeze is most welcome in your home, but not mosquitoes. Renovate broken screens and keep doors closed to prevent their entry. Stay indoors and if you have an air conditioner, now is the right time to utilize it. Mosquitoes find it very difficult to survive in cools spaces, so stay ‘cool’. Line your window with screens or net. It is suggested to sleep within a canopy that covers the enter circumference of the bed.

Apply mosquito repellant: Repellants offer added protection by reducing your chances of getting bitten by a mosquito.

Spray pesticides in the corners: The probable breeding place for mosquitoes are into dark places. Spray anti-pest sprays every alternative day to keep your home safe from dengue attack.
