  • Mr Manohar Lal was interacting with the media persons on the occasion of launch of Vikas Geet CD  prepared by Information, Public Relations and Languages Department in Gurugram today.
  • He said that the HSVP allottees himself had raised the enhancement issue and wanted to get it resolved. He said that a large number  of allottees took benefit of 40 per cent rebate given to them recently for settling their enhancement dues under which an amount of Rs 850 crore were deposited as against enhancement of about Rs 1400 crore.
  • The Chief Minister said that he had invited various resident welfare associations of sectors of HSVP and talked about the issue of enhancement. Most of the demands which the allottees raised in the meeting have been accepted by the State Government except two demands for which a committee comprising three retired Judge has been constituted. These two demands would also be considered after the committee submits it report, he added.
  • He said that a rebate scheme would again be implemented for those allottees that could not get the benefit under the similar scheme earlier. But, this time, they would get rebate less than 40 per cent so that the allottees of  earlier scheme do not feel that they might have done any mistake by depositing amount of enhancement two months earlier.
  • While blaming the previous Congress Government in the State for adopting delaying tactics in giving enhancement, he said that even the enhancement of 1994 was not intimated to the allottees as the leaders of the then government thought that the allottees could be informed about the enhancement dues at the time of making payment to farmers of their land. This resulted in the increasing litigation in the Courts as large number of allottees has sold their plots further by that time.
  • The Chief Minister said that he was of the view that allottees should be informed about their complete liability at the beginning. The present State Government, during the last four years, has filled many pits dig by the previous government. The previous government never took into consideration the people’s interest while taking decisions. Contrary to this, the present State government considered public interest as supreme and takes decisions after taking into consideration their suggestions, he further added.
