Cracks in the Facade: Uncovering Additional Flats and Green Belt Violations

The GDA inspection confirmed the residents' concerns, revealing the unauthorized construction of 110 flats carved out from larger units and the encroachment of 117.3 square meters of the designated green belt. Adding to the concern is the revelation that the builder, while acknowledging the extra flats in 2009, sought regularization from GDA, but no action was taken.

Raising Questions of Accountability and Buyer Vigilance

GDA Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh expressed concerns about potential negligence within the enforcement wing, highlighting the need for further investigation. He emphasized the importance of buyer due diligence, urging homebuyers to thoroughly scrutinize project details like sanctioned plans and green belt allocations before investing.

Echoes of Past Irregularities: High Court Criticism and Continuing Pattern

This incident echoes a recent Allahabad High Court criticism of GDA for similar irregularities in another Indirapuram project, where the builder constructed 134 extra units beyond the sanctioned 536. This pattern highlights the need for stricter oversight and enforcement mechanisms to prevent such violations and protect both residents and buyers.

The investigation into Supertech Estate remains ongoing, and further details are expected to emerge as the GDA delves deeper into the case. This incident serves as a stark reminder for both builders and buyers to prioritize adherence to regulations and responsible practices in the real estate sector.

Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh: The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) has launched an investigation into Supertech Estate in Vaishali following allegations of the builder constructing 110 additional flats beyond the sanctioned plan and encroaching upon a designated green belt. This comes to light after the local Residents' Welfare Association (RWA) approached GDA for election facilitation, prompting a discrepancy between the actual number of units (357) and the approved plan (247).
