The progress of the second round of structural audits for 15 high-rises in the city has hit a roadblock, as several developers have not paid the necessary fees required to conduct tests ensuring construction quality and standards. Despite repeated reminders from the district administration and the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) over the past six months, these developers have not deposited the required fees, according to officials. The department has issued warnings to these developers, stating that if they fail to comply and deposit the required funds, a committee chaired by the Gurgaon deputy commissioner will be approached to take action in accordance with the established rules, said Manish Yadav, district town planner (enforcement). The structural audits were initiated in response to a tragic incident in February last year when a vertical collapse of five floors at Chintels Paradiso society resulted in the loss of two lives. Following complaints from approximately 50 Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs), the district administration identified several apartment complexes for potential audits. The first round involved visual inspections of 15 societies, while the second phase comprises non-destructive tests aimed at assessing construction quality and standards. As of now, the second round of audits has been completed for only three of the 15 apartment complexes, with two reports submitted to the DTCP and another pending. Developers of eight societies, including Raheja Vedanta, Park Place, Raheja Atharva, Paras Irene, Peaceful 亚博体育官网首页s, Spaze Privy, Central Park Bellevue, and Tulip Ivory Apartments, have not yet paid the required fees. Manish Yadav reported that although the Antriksh society in Sector 84 has deposited the money, the testing process is yet to be completed. Tests for Brisk Lumbini in Sector 109, Mapsko Royal, and Mapsko Paradise in Sector 82 have been completed, with reports submitted to the department. However, the process for M3M Woodshire in Sector 107 and Mapsko Casabella in Sector 82 is still ongoing. RWAs and developers of Signature Global Solera in Sector 107 have decided to conduct tests independently but have not commenced them yet. Tests are underway at Mahindra Aura in Sector 110A, although a report has not yet been submitted to the department. The results of these tests will determine the safety of all 15 societies, and if any issues are identified, remedial measures will be recommended, ranging from repairs to maintenance or other necessary actions.
