Urban Land Ceiling Act in Coimbatore, no good: Association
Coimbatore,
Nov
4:
R
Mohan,
President
of
the
Association
pointed
out
that
the
recently
issued
Government
Order
has
failed
to
bring
in
any
relief
to
the
victims
of
the
Urban
Land
Ceiling
Act.
As
a
result
of
the
Revenue
Department's
announcement
regarding
the
Urban
Land
Ceiling
Act,
there
was
a
ban
on
registration
of
those
lands
that
were
under
the
Urban
Land
Ceiling
Act.
Due
to
the
industrial
recession
in
Coimbatore
and
economic
slow
down
many
industries
and
mills
were
closed
down
but
unfortunately
the
sites
or
the
houses
couldn't
be
sold
because
of
the
restriction
imposed
in
the
name
of
Urban
Land
Ceiling
Act.
The Government order has come as a blow for the residents who were hoping for some relief, he added.
The association demanded that the restriction on sale and disposal of such properties should be withdrawn and the Government should stop collecting any fee for regularisation.
The Government should also announce that the sites could be regularised based on the development charges remitted with the respective local bodies. Failing which, the association announced that 20,000 residents living in such areas would be forced to picket the Collector's office.
