HUDA-coop imbroglio Pradeep Sharma Tribune News Service
Panchkula, November 29 In fact, a delegation of the House Owners' Welfare Association and Market Welfare Association, Sector 20, met Hooda and urged him to constitute a committee under the chairmanship of a state minister to arrive at a "mutually beneficial" decision. The committee should seek the opinion of all stakeholders — HUDA, cooperative societies and experts — in public interest. Terming the public notice issued by HUDA as "confusing", residents claimed that the Apartment Act was applicable in case of builders only and cooperative societies were outside its purview. Even under Rule 43 of the Cooperative Act, there was no provision for the registration of societies, J.K. Malhotra and K.K. Jindal, president and general secretary of the House Owners’ Association asserted. The Apartment Act was notified in 1997 whereas plots in the township were allotted during 1994-95. Even during the issuance of occupancy certificates to the societies in 2000, no condition for registration of flats was put up by the HUDA. During the last 10 years, no chief administrator of HUDA tried to implement the Apartment Act on the societies, claimed Jai Bhagwan Garg and Suresh Aggarwal, chairman and president of the Market Welfare Association stated. The associations claimed that the cooperative societies were allotted land by the government in the wake of difficulties being faced by residents living in flats constructed by the HUDA and Haryana Housing Board. If the cooperative societies were brought under the purview of the Apartment Act, the very purpose of forming the cooperative societies would be defeated, Malhotra added.

Vanishing greens, grills cause for concern
Patiala, November 29 The first one to do the disappearing act was the space envisaged for the residents of colonies near the railway station and bus stand. Trees and saplings were planted with much fanfare by the district administration prior to the high-profile Indo-Pakistan Punjab Games held in the city in December 2004. The place was given a new look with the municipal corporation installing lights making the place a walkers’ paradise. However, three years down the line, the lights have disappeared and the green space has been taken over by taxi drivers. Many other small green spaces have also disappeared over the years. The other cause of concern is the theft of grills around the parks. Thieves are having a field day and have, over the years, decamped with grills from quite a few areas including the park adjacent to the bus stand and the busy Patiala-Sirhind road. Local MC officials have no idea of where the grills have gone. Patiala mayor Ajit Pal Singh, when contacted, said the job of maintaining grills was PWD’s and the MC had no role to play in it. However, he added that talks were on with some big firms to hand over the maintenance of parks to them.
