Layout violators warned


By SNV Sudhir

Visakhapatnam, Feb 2, 2013:  In an attempt to streamline the development in Vizag, Vuda authorities have decided to crack whip on the defaulters and violators. 
“Layout developments without any permission or approval from Vuda, building construction without proper plan, approvals and any deviation, would face criminal action apart from issue of notices, demolition and imposing penalty. We will act tough and are not going to spare anyone. Our responsibility is to ensure planned development. A system should be evolved to achieve it,” said Vuda vice-chairman, Mr N. Yuvaraj.
Their staff also was entrusted to identify such plan deviations, illegal constructions coming under Vuda jurisdiction and preparing a list to file complaints for criminal proceedings. Already Vuda, had earlier identified around 190 such illegal and unauthorised layouts in its jurisdiction and issued notices.
To bring in transparency, Mr Yuvaraj said that Vuda would very soon launch monitoring system with the help of IT to check accountability and fix responsibility for lapses. Vuda would very soon begin putting every rupee spent on public domain, by uploading details of the expenditure for public scrutiny. “We are also planning to introduce SMS facility to register grievances at public amenities, like parks and other amusement themes, maintained by Vuda. A tracking system of the file movement with the help of information technology would be launched for the convenience of general public who approach us,” he said and further added that unsold flats, plots since some years, in already developed layouts, will be auctioned soon.
Mr Yuvaraj said they would be very soon taking a call on whether to concentrate on housing or developing layouts.
