MULTI - STORIED FLATS VS. INFRASTRUCTURE

There are 253 plots in our colony,  Priyadarshini Vihar (near Laxmi Nagar). The infrastructure - water lines, electricity cables, sewers, rain water drains and roads - was developed keeping in mind the requirements of the 253 families.  Of late, the properties are being purchased at exorbitant price by the builders, who convert these single family units into multi-storied flats and sell them.Construction of such flats is rapidly growing in our colony and I understand in many other colonies throughout Delhi.  It is resulting in frequent burning of electric cables due to over-loading; very little or no water at the end of the colony; choked sewers; no parking space, etc.

Yesterday (13 June), there was no light in B-Block of our colony for over 15 hours due to burning of a cable due to overloading. Everyone in the colony, including the ones who have purchased newly constructed flats, is suffering due to no power, no water, no parking space,over-crowded lanes, and choked sewers.

The Government seems to have closed its eyes and ears and have no time to look at the woes of the public.

The MCD should not approve the building plans of these flats, until such time that the infrastructure is augmented to meet the demands of fast increasing population of the colony.Moreover, the building bylaws are being openly flouted un-checked, in connivance with the officials of the MCD.
