Ghansoli a neglected node

The residents of Ghansoli are a harassed lot and feel neglected as none of the agencies— Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation or Cidco— has paid any heed to their complaints and requests regarding the unclean environment.The population of the node is multiplying fast but it lacks basic amenities and infrastructure to add to the mess the unclean nullahs are proving to be a headache for the locals, people complain.“I shifted to Ghansoli from Vashi nearly a year back and stay in sector-7. Though the place where I stay is plush, the moment I step out to reach to the station, there is this 500 metres broad nullah, which starts from the Gharonda complex and transforms into a filthy serpentine flow through the Simplex complex further to vegetable markets,” said Abhijit Angne.He added, “The nullah poses threat to basic hygiene and health, given the fact that it makes ground for mosquito breeding and eventually spreads airborne diseases. We have spent multiple crores on buying a house here, but the government is not doing its bit. The stench emanating from the nullah makes life difficult. It’s a mix of chemicals, human wastes and more that flows as a black stream of molten hell.”Angne…

Extra FSI approved for Mumbai’s Koliwadas

The chief minister, Mr.Chauhan, on friday cleared the proposal to hike FSI (floor space index) of Koliwadas of Mumbai to 2 from 1. This is on similar lines to the FSI in Gaothan areas. However, unlike Gaothan areas, Koliwadas have not been mapped and hence a mapping drive will also be undertaken. The Survey will be carried out over a period of 3 months. Following which a clear demarcation of Koliwadas will be available with the Govt. This will be applicable to Koliwadas within the city limits initially.With an FSI of 2, the gross area of the constructed building will be twice the area of the plot it stands on.However, some sections of the Koli community were skeptical of getting any benefit as most of the houses in Koliwadas have already violated the 1 fsi and are, in some cases, up to 3.It may be worth pointing out that most SRA projects get an FSI of 3.At the most the new regulations will help regularize the violations, felt most people.

Sheth developers split due to family dispute

Splitting of familyrun real estate businesses appears to be a growing phenomenon . The three low-profile brothers of the Rs 3,000-crore Sheth Developers Pvt Ltd (SDPL) have reportedly split and the separation is said to have been amicable. Industry sources said the parting was a result of differences in business vision of the three brothers-Ashwin , Vallabh and Jitendra Sheth. While Ashwin, managing director of SDPL, and Vallabh , director, denied the split, they confirmed the setting up of two firms. They said it will not affect the firm’s existing projects. “We are jointly completing all the projects at hand and only acquiring new projects separately,” they said in separate communications. Jitendra, too, is a director in the firm. This is how the business has been reportedly bifurcated . SDPL, the parent company where the brothers hold 33% stake each, will continue to exist till the ongoing projects are complete. The brothers have set up two realty firms, which will bid for new projects and land acquisitions separately. Ashwin, eldest of the three, has set up Seth Corp, which he will operate jointly with son Chintan. He has an office in Vile Parle. Ashwin’s brothers, Vallabh and Jitendra , have…

Mhada Repair Scam

Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada) officials and private contractors are hand-in-glove in a Rs100-crore scam concerning repairing tenders of cessed buildings, a Right to Information Act (RTI) query has revealed. Contractors try to grab the tenders by quoting prices as less as 80% to 90% below the estimated cost of repair. However, once they get the contract, they recover the deficit — difference between the estimated repair cost and the price they have quoted — by submitting an ‘extras’ bill. They also include their profit in the bills. DNA is in possession of 68 documents which highlight the modus operandi of contractors and Mhada officials. For example, if a contractor quotes Rs1 lakh to repair a building against its estimated cost of Rs10 lakh, he later submits bills over and above Rs9 lakh to recover the amount with the help of Mhada officials. He may or may not complete the repair work, but ensures he gets a hefty sum with some profit for Mhada officials too. Mhada repaired a cessed building in Bhuleshwar for which the architect and engineer estimated the repairing cost to be Rs4.98 lakh. A private contractor bagged the tender by quoting Rs94,732 — 81%…
