Gurgaon to develop unutilised land in new sectors

The Municipal Corporation Gurgaon (MCG) is planning development in new sectors and areas that have recently been added to its jurisdiction. Officials told the media that the commissioner has directed the corporation's planning and revenue departments to first identify the civic body's land that falls under its jurisdiction, demarcate it, install ownership boards, and remove any encroachments that may exist. MCG is looking to develop undeveloped land in new sectors and areas that have recently been added to its jurisdiction. A senior MCG official told the media that they'll then draught an area-by-area plan to build public infrastructure on the land once the process is finished. The exercise begins with this stage. For example, if a new sector or village requires a community centre or a school, the MCG will develop a plan to build these facilities on MCG land in the area. Always be on the lookout for new ways to use MCG land to boost revenue generation. On December 29, the Haryana government announced the expansion of MCG boundaries by bringing 16 villages under its jurisdiction. MCG absorbed the revenue estates of Bajghera, Babupur, Moham Madheri, Dharampur, Daultabad, Kherki Majra, Dhankot, Palra, Ullawas, Nangli Umarpur, Behrampur, Dhumaspur, Bhondsi, Nayagaon, Kadarpur, and Maidawas villages. The fixed deposits of these villages, totalling Rs 181 crore, were also transferred to the civic body with the expansion of MCG's limit. Furthermore, stamp duty from 16 villages were collected for Rs 35.45 crore in 2018-19, and Rs 41.32 crore in 2019-20. Image Source Also read: RLDA plans to monetise 16 land parcels of Rs 1904 crores
