Chintels India, the property developer of Paradiso residential complex, has barricaded Tower F due to the distressing sag of a balcony in flat 403. Citing safety risks, the developer has implored for immediate evacuation. Despite warnings, two families continue to reside in the affected tower. District town planner Manish Yadav has assured thorough inspection. Meanwhile, legal action questions the lack of rent settlement in evacuation orders, arguing that Chintels India should comply with regulations set under the Disaster Management Act, which include paying rent or providing alternate accommodation.
Chintels India, the real estate developer behind the Paradiso residential project in Sector 109, instituted safety measures on Monday by barricading Tower F due to a potentially hazardous condition. This was initiated after they discovered the balcony of Flat 403 in the aforementioned tower was distressingly sagging, posing a significant safety risk to the residents.
The developer flagged the issue to district town planner (enforcement) Manish Yadav, informing him about the precarious balcony condition. Despite their warnings and safety measures, Chintels India highlighted that two families continue to reside within the precarious Tower F. The developer urged for intervention to ensure these flats are promptly vacated for the safety of the remaining residents.
In response to the situation, DTP Yadav assured that a thorough inspection of Tower F is scheduled and the situation will be evaluated accordingly. He also committed to persuading the families still residing in the tower to promptly evacuate.
Meanwhile, senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan, representing Chintels RWA in the Supreme Court, has issued a notice to the deputy commissioner. The notice challenges the issuance of evacuation orders to Paradiso's residents under the Disaster Management Act, without adequately addressing the rent settlement issue.
The notice elaborates that under the Disaster Management Act, any evacuation notice should include rent payment or alternative accommodation provision for the affected residents, a measure that Chintels India should comply with.
In conclusion, this unfolding situation raises pertinent questions about residents' safety and the adequacy of disaster management measures. As authorities and the developer grapple with these issues, the priority remains to ensure the safe evacuation of the remaining families in Tower F and appropriate compensation for the affected residents. With the pending review of the situation, all eyes are on the administration's next steps to resolve this critical issue.
