Chandigarh: With the Chandigarh municipal corporation eagerly pursuing the matter related to disposal of the Manimajra land parcel for a residential housing society project, its engineering department has finalised a comprehensive plan worth approximately Rs 10 crore for establishing essential underground and overhead services in pocket number 6 of Manimajra.
A detailed agenda is scheduled for discussion during Tuesday's monthly general house meeting, seeking members' approval to initiate tender processes for basic service provisions.
Various divisions of MC's engineering department, including Building and Roads, Public Health, Electrical, and Horticulture, have collaborated on this project. Officials from each division conducted thorough assessments of their respective domains, culminating in a consolidated financial estimate for the site development.
"Providing roads infrastructure, water supply network, sewage lines, electrification, and horticulture work are some of the key basic public services required at the spot before doing any other works there. Thus, the matter was discussed at the level of the senior officers, following which the financial estimates were prepared. Since the area of pocket number 6 of Manimajra, where this housing project is planned, is completely vacant land, none of the services are there, and thus all the works have to be done by keeping the residential accommodations in mind," sources in the MC revealed.

A senior official indicated that whilst awaiting clarification from the Deputy Commissioner's office regarding the area's collector rate, the MC continues to advance preparations within its jurisdiction. "The senior officers of the MC and DC office are also in touch on this issue, and the clarification regarding the Collector Rate of this specific chunk of land, where the housing project has to come, will come soon," sources revealed.

The approved zoning and layout plan encompasses five residential pockets across 7.7 acres in Manimajra. With the UT's approval of 2 Floor Area Ratio (FAR), developments may reach five storeys. The plan incorporates dedicated spaces for shopping facilities, green areas, and reserved land. The UT's Urban Planning Department's recent layout plan approval for pocket number 6 includes modifications based on the survey plan, featuring five group housing pockets, convenient shopping, green areas, playground, and reserved spaces.

Iran demands US 'guarantee' it will lift sanctions in nuclear talks
AP image TEHRAN: Iran pressed the United States on Monday for guarantees that it will drop sanctions as a condition for a nuclear deal, after the White House reportedly sent a proposal it deemed "acceptable". With Iran and the United States engaged in talks over Tehran's nuclear programme since April, Washington's proposal for a deal came after a leaked UN report said Iran had stepped up production of highly enriched uranium. Iran's top diplomat and lead nuclear negotiator was due to meet the head of the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Cairo on Monday, a day after the report was leaked. Iran has rejected the report, warning it would retaliate if European powers that have threatened to reimpose nuclear sanctions "exploit" the report. The US and western countries have accused Iran of seeking nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran has repeatedly denied, insisting it needs uranium for civilian power production. Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said on Saturday that he had received "elements" of a US proposal for a nuclear deal following five rounds of talks mediated by Oman. On Monday, foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei told a news conference in Tehran: "We want to guarantee that the sanctions are effectively lifted... by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo "So far, the American side has not wanted to clarify this issue," he added. His remarks come a day after a report by the UN agency showed Iran has stepped up production of uranium enriched up to 60 percent -- close to the roughly 90 percent level needed for atomic weapons. The US envoy in the nuclear talks said last month that the administration of President Donald Trump would oppose any enrichment. "An enrichment programme can never exist in the state of Iran ever again. That's our red line. No enrichment," Steve Witkoff told Breitbart News. Iran has vowed to keep enriching uranium "with or without a deal" on its nuclear programme. The United States has sent Iran a proposal for a nuclear deal that the White House called "acceptable" and in its "best interest" to accept, US media reported on Saturday. Iran has held five rounds of talks with the United States in search of a new agreement to replace the deal with major powers that Trump abandoned during his first term in 2018.

25 rare M F Husain paintings to go under hammer after Bombay High Court nod
Twenty five rare paintings of late Indian modernist painter M F Husain, secured by NAFED as part of the proceeds of an alleged loan default case, will be auctioned on June 12 pursuant to a nod from the Bombay High Court . The auction titled, 'M F Husain: An Artist's Vision of the XX Century', includes 25 canvases painted as part of Husain's OPCE - Our Planet Called Earth - series. In its February 17 order, a single bench of Justice R I Chagla permitted the Sheriff of Mumbai to auction the 25 paintings, secured by the National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India Ltd (NAFED) in connection with the Rs 236 crore loan dispute with industrialist Guru Swarup Srivastava's Swarup Group of Industries. Srivastava came into limelight in 2007 when he commissioned 100 paintings of M F Husain at Rs 1 crore each. In May last year, art specialist Dadiba Pundole submitted to the HC the valuation report of the paintings, as per which they were valued at Rs 25 crore. Live Events Pursuant to the HC order, the Sheriff of Mumbai in February issued an auction notice for the paintings through Pundole art gallery. The auction is scheduled on June 12 at the Hamilton House in south Mumbai. After the auction is complete, the Sheriff of Mumbai has been directed to file a report to the high court by July 3 and obtain final directions for handover of the works. In 2006, the CBI initiated a probe into the Swarup Group and against Srivastava for alleged misappropriation of Rs 150 crore from the Rs 236 crore loans from NAFED. A tribunal in December 2008 permitted NAFED to secure assets of Rs 100 crore, including the Husain paintings.
