Delhi government is getting ready for a crackdown on illegal constructions and encroachments . As an outcome of a high-level meeting with Lieutenant-Governor Tejendra Khanna earlier this month, the state government has drafted a proposal to set up a special task force with powers to go after violators. A significant point made in the proposal is that properties without a sanctioned building plan will not make it to the state registry if a sale is executed. Also new buildings without sanction plans and structural safety certificates will not be provided water and electricity connections.
According to top sources, a meeting chaired by Khanna at Raj Niwas on January 4 discussed the need to come down heavily on land sharks. Revival of the special task force, which had earlier virtually been a non-starter , was raised. The L-G is learnt to have underlined the urgency in the situation and given the drive the tag of Mission 2011.
The revenue department of the state government has since then proposed revival of the STF which was first set up in 1996 by the then L-G , PK Dave. To give teeth to the STF and ensure that it's effective this time, the proposal lays down a hierarcy of officials with the L-G at the top. Stringent action against not just individual violators but also builders, contractors, architects , junior engineers in charge of the area and station house officers is proposed if laws are breached. The proposal invokes relevant sections of IPC, CrPC, Delhi Municipal Corporation Act and NDMC Act.
