The Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HRERA) has instructed the National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) to pay monthly compensation of INR 30,000 to the Green View Society allottees in Sector 37D. This decision follows complaints from residents after structural audits deemed the society unsafe for habitation, leading to an evacuation in early 2022. Legal disputes and unresolved compensation claims, particularly from Economically Weaker Section (EWS) flat owners, have delayed demolition efforts. NBCC has sought urgent approval for demolition, citing safety concerns, while residents continue to demand clarity and settlement of their claims.
The Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HRERA) has directed the National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) to provide a monthly rent of INR 30,000 to the allottees of Green View Society, located in Sector 37D. The regulatory body's decision was based on complaints filed by two allottees, Saurabh Mehta and Jai Prakash Mehta, after structural audits by IIT-Roorkee and the Central Building Research Institute (CBRI) found the project unsafe for habitation. Residents were subsequently instructed to vacate their flats in early 2022. Advertisement
The HRERA order stipulated that NBCC must compensate within a month, failing which the corporation would incur a 10.5% annual interest on the due amount until full payment is made.
Earlier this year, the district administration denied NBCC permission to demolish the society due to unresolved legal issues and pending compensation for Economically Weaker Section (EWS) allottees. EWS flat owners raised objections in the Delhi High Court, claiming NBCC had not settled their dues.
During a Samadhan camp held by the district administration, EWS allottees reiterated their grievances, urging clarity and settlement of their claims. The district town planning enforcement (DTPE) informed NBCC that further demolition required the Delhi High Court's approval. The DTPE also appealed to the deputy commissioner to establish guidelines allowing EWS allottees to register their flats and secure claims against NBCC.
In response, NBCC stressed the structural risks posed by the seven towers, referencing a 2022 directive from the district magistrate and the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) warning of potential threats to life and property. The corporation requested urgent permission to proceed with demolition, emphasising public safety.
The Green View Society issue highlights the complexities of addressing unsafe housing projects amidst legal, administrative, and social challenges. While HRERA's directive offers financial relief to affected residents, unresolved compensation claims and legal hurdles have stalled demolition efforts, leaving the allottees in a state of uncertainty. The district administration, courts, and NBCC must work collaboratively to resolve disputes, ensure fair compensation, and prioritise safety to bring closure to this prolonged crisis.
