Chandigarh, June 26

The Union Home Ministry has forwarded the issue of regularisation of need-based changes in the Chandigarh Housing Board houses, on the pattern of Delhi, to the Urban Development Ministry, said Satya Pal Jain, former MP from the BJP .

Jain had sent a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah on June 11 demanding regularisation, along with a memorandum submitted by the Makaan Bachao Samiti to that effect.

He said if approved, the main features — as on the Delhi pattern — would include increasing FAR up to 100 per cent, regularising all construction carved out in violation, no title or legal right for excess construction, no future deviation to be allowed beyond the permissible limits and the Amnesty scheme in force for a certain period with one-time usage charges for additional construction.
