All rules bent for Vadra guesthouse in Gurgaon

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 11 Oktober 2014 | 22.14

GURGAON: Every single rule appears to have been overlooked when it came to a guesthouse Robert Vadra allegedly built on two plots of land in Gurgaon, indicating the cosy relationship the Gandhi son-in-law enjoyed with the Hooda government in Haryana.

In its Thursday edition, TOI had reported how RTI pleas to uncover the details of a plot registered in the name of Vadra were stonewalled. TOI now has documents which show that not only was a single structure built on two plots of land (one owned by Vadra, the other by a private company), but also that an application for change of land use (CLU) from residential to commercial was being processed only after the building was completed, both of which are in gross violation of the law.

Dharamvir Yadav, a Gurgaon resident, filed an RTI application in 2013 which revealed that separate building plans for both plots in Mayfield Garden (N29 owned by Vadra, and N30 by a private company) were approved in November 2010. But work on a single structure — the guesthouse — straddling both plots commenced in 2011. Yadav claims the building was completed by March 2014.

After this, Satpal Thakran, another resident of the same colony, filed an RTI query in May this year seeking further details of the plots, but these got stonewalled by authorities who cited Vadra's request not to disclose details.

TOI is now in possession of correspondence between the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) and District Town Planner (DTP) over CLU permissions and occupation certificates, which show how rules were bent at every stage.

A senior official from the department of town and country planning said on the condition of anonymity: "According to norms, the plots cannot be granted CLU nor can they be merged to run a guesthouse unless both the plots are owned by a single person, which they clearly are not."

"As per norms, it is not possible for them to get a CLU, nor is it possible to run a guesthouse on the plots. The two questions here that need to be answered is who owns plot N30 and whether an approved building plan for a single structure on both plots was passed," he said.

Sources in the DTP office in Gurgaon, however, said all they have are two separate building plans for the two plots that were approved in November 2010.

"The policy specifying rules and regulations on setting up of guesthouses was notified by the department of town and country planning in 2012. Why did Vadra not apply for a CLU then itself and wait till August this year?" said Yadav, who had filed the first RTI.

Thakran claimed that he along with Yadav had visited the building last week. "There are about 25 rooms inside the building and it is one single structure," he claimed.
