GURUGRAM: The department of town and country planning (DTCP) has issued a final reminder to 11 societies for making payment for the second phase of structural audit. A total of 15 highrise societies were audited for structural defects.
In the first round, the agencies revealed that the basements of most of the projects have seepage and flooding, apart from other issues like falling of concrete and corrosion of steel. Basements of all projects are a “major cause” of concern and need further testing, the report stated and recommended detailed audit in the second round.
The second round of structural audit of 15 societies selected in the first phase was to begin from July 10. In the second round, various lab tests were recommended by the structural audit agencies. “The developers of the 15 highrise residential societies, for which visual audit was done and laboratory test were to be done in second round, were issued notices and they were ordered to get the lab test done or take the NOC, consent letter from the RWA and submit it to the DTCP office,” said district town planner (enforcement) Manish Yadav.
“So far, one developer has deposited the money for the lab test of two of its societies in Sector 82. One of the developers got the lab tests done at its level but the RWA is not satisfied with it and a dispute has arisen over it. The RWA is demanding the department to conduct the test through an empanelled consultant. Another developer is also getting tests done through its management, for which consent has been filed by the RWA. As per the final reminder, if the remaining 11 developers do not deposit the money, the department will recommend stopping the registry of these societies,” said Yadav.The district administration had decided to carry out audits to identify buildings that are unsafe for habitation after the cave-in at Chintels Paradiso in February last year, in which two residents lost their lives. Most of these residential societies are located along the Dwarka Expressway and Southern Peripheral Road and were constructed by prominent developers. The societies have been divided into moderate, severe and critical categories on the basis of the complaints received.
