Bhopal: Setting August 15 as final deadline for legalising illegal colonies, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan pulled up officials for their dillydallying attitude in legalising the illegal colonies. Process will be kicked off from April 7.
CM said, “I cannot tolerate any lame excuse and their attitude if officials fail to execute the planning—legalising the illegal colonies in the state by August 15. It is final deadline for legalising the colonies as residents are facing the brunt of lack of basic civic facilities.”
He was addressing a workshop of urban development department on, ‘legalising illegal colonies’ at RCVP Noronha Academy of Administration on Monday. CM said, “All the illegal colonies of the state should be legalised by August 15. I cannot entertain any lame excuse from officials that they cannot implement. I will myself monitor the implementation and execution of the plan. They will have to work and detail report should be put up on dash-board in meetings.”
Urban development department will legalise the illegal colonies by charging 20 per cent development charges for repairing sewage line and road and water supply. Urban development will have to pay 80 per cent share. Basic civic services like water, sanitation, electricity, etc will be streamlined with the said amount which will be charged in the name of development, CM added. MP Housing Board chairman
