Guidelines for Private Developers to Follow still under wraps
So far Haryana government has only issued circulars to private developers guidelines to follow while issuing advertisements. It is yet to issue a public notice.Earlier the government had said a proper notification would be published so that the common man has access to contact details of officials whom they can notify in case these norms are violated. Govt is yet to issue a public notice. Government has asked district town planners to lodge cases against those found flouting rules.
“Many of the developers are following the rules but they put the required information in fine print. It’s up to the mercy of government town planners to find out whether developers are going by the book. We can’t do anything since we have no idea whom to complain to. The government must make the rules accessible to the common man,” said Harcharanjit Singh, a retired bureaucrat. It’s up to the mercy of government town planners to find out whether developers are going by the book.
So far the government has only issued circulars to private developers (a copy of which is with TOI) and has asked district town planners to lodge cases against those found flouting rules.
“We have already issued circulars to private players and have lodged four cases after violations were brought to our notice. Regarding the issue of publishing a notification listing the officials contact details, my office will get back to you on Monday,” TC Gupta, director general of town and country planning (TCP) wing of the Haryana government told TOI. The TCP had circulated a list of rules to private developers on May 27.
Gupta had said that he had told district town planners (DTPs) across the state to file at least two FIRs against violators to ensure 100 per cent compliance with rules.
One day later, during an interaction with private developers in the capital, Gupta had agreed to a proposal to publish a phone number or a website where people could lodge complaints. This proposal was earlier shot down by state industry secretary YS Malik.
“Many of the developers are following the rules but they put the required information in fine print. They can’t do anything since they have no idea whom to complain to.
