Welfare associations urge civic upgrade, revoke ban on Stilt+4 floors

Residents from around seven welfare associations, including Sushant Lok Extension and Palam Vihar, have jointly communicated their concerns to the chief minister's office, urging an enhancement of civic amenities in licensed colonies. The collective appeal also includes a request to lift the ban on stilt plus four floors, citing difficulties faced by plot owners who are unable to proceed with construction despite purchasing plots at market rates.

The long-delayed upgrade of civic infrastructure has been a persistent issue, leading to problems for residents related to sewage, water, and electricity. The Sector 51 Residents Welfare Association, in its correspondence with the CM, emphasised the necessity for basic civic amenities and infrastructure maintenance. They highlighted Gurgaon's main problem as a poor drainage system for rainwater and sewer line blockages, causing sewage overflow onto roads. The association called for regular maintenance and upgrades by government bodies, including the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) and Gurgaon Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA).

The association also argued that blaming only the addition of four floors for the strain on existing infrastructure is unjustified. They asserted that even without the additional floors, the infrastructure is already overburdened.

Sushant Lok 2 and 3 RWAs echoed the need to strengthen the colony's infrastructure. They expressed a willingness to allow stilt plus four floors if the municipal corporation and GMDA took measures to reinforce the infrastructure. Banning it, they argued, would violate the rights of plot owners who have yet to construct four floors.

Members of Sector 52 RWA highlighted the space constraints for joint and large families residing in smaller-sized houses and asserted the need for four floors to accommodate family needs. They mentioned that 30-40% of houses constructed in the last four years had stilt plus four floors, with no adverse impact on sector residents. However, some residents in licensed colonies are opposed to stilt plus four floors, citing concerns about additional strain on the already fragile infrastructure.

Narendra Yadav, President of the Gurgaon Home Developers and Plot Owners Association (GHDPA), demanded the implementation of the old zoning policy by the state government.
