Beopar Mandal calls on UT Adviser

Chandigarh, January 14

The Chandigarh Beopar Mandal (CBM) has opposed the manifold increase of conversion coverage charges of SCFs to SCOs from Sectors 7 to 30 and demands its rollback.

A delegation of senior functionaries of the CBM and its building bylaws committee comprising of Charanjiv Singh, Anil Vohra, Diwakar Sahoonja, Vinod Joshi and Rajan Mahajan today called on UT Adviser Manoj Kumar Parida to express concern and resentment against the implementation of unjustified enhancement of charges for availing of the additional already permitted coverage area and conversion of SCFs to SCOs in commercial properties.

Vinod Joshi, chairman of the committee, pointed out that the average charges from Rs5 lakh had increased to Rs50 to Rs60 lakh by linking such coverage of old commercial buildings from Sector 7 to Sector 31 to collector rates, which was unjustified.

Charanjiv Singh, president, CBM, demanded to delink it from collector rates and fix flat, nominal and justified rates for additional coverage. Otherwise, it would amount to second time purchase of own property. After giving a sympathetic hearing to the delegation, the Adviser assured to form a committee to look into the matter. — TNS
