JDA to sell 180 seized plots to develop colonies

The Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) has seized 180 apartments in separate private colonies and housing cooperative schemes where developers did not develop facilities after getting township permission from the civic body. After selling these plots, the civic body will achieve the development work in these colonies.

The decision will help lakhs of people who were deprived of basic amenities comprising roads, sewerage, parks after buying plots from private developers. An official told the media that from every sanctioned scheme, 12.5% of the land is mortgaged by the developers. If the promoter fails to build the facility, the JDA has the power to sell the land and finish the development in approved colonies.

Since 2015, the civic body has prepared a list of 511 defaulted colonies. After selling plots to the individuals, developers never turn up, and buyers continue to live in under-developed colonies, as there is no other choice. With such drives, other developers will stick to the rules. Though JDA takes action against private developers, it is usually criticised for not conducting development in its colonies.

In the absence of demarcation and facilities, many people who have bought plots in colonies either developed or approved by (JDA) are unable to develop their homes. As per JDA records, there are 134 colonies sanctioned or developed after 2013. In these colonies, about 38,000 apartments have been developed including the economic weaker section (EWS) and lower-income group (LIG). Yet, even after seven years, most of the colonies wear a deserted look in the absence of amenities.
