Coimbatore: At least 464 open space reservation (OSR) sites in the city limits are awaiting name transfer, as per the report that the civic body submitted at a meeting district collector Pavankumar G Giriyappanavar convened on Monday.
The meeting was attended by officials with various govt departments and some major land promoters. The city corporation cited active encroachments, joint patta documents and lack of proper gift deed documents as the major reasons for rejecting the name transfer applications of 274 of the 464 OSR sites.
Of the remaining sites awaiting name transfer, the corporation said, around 100 were categorized as natham land, another 85 as sarkar poramboke land and the remaining five as settlement land.
The civic body said the central zone had 21 OSR sites pending title transfers. At least 11 of those sites are sarkar poramboke land parcels, while the remaining ones come with active encroachments, joint patta documents and lack of proper gift deed documents. In the east zone, 54 of 88 sites awaiting name transfer are sarkar poramboke land parcels and the rest 34 are those with active encroachments, joint patta documents and lack of proper gift deed documents. Of the total 102 pending files in the north zone, 11 are sarkar poramboke land parcels and 91 are rejected files.

In the west zone, out of the total 119 OSR sites pending title transfers, four are sarkar poramboke land parcels, 56 are natham land parcels and 59 are those with active encroachments, joint patta documents and lack of proper gift deed documents. The south zone tops the list with 129 OSR sites, of which, five are sarkar poramboke land parcels, 44 are natham land parcels, 80 are those with active encroachments, joint patta documents and lack of proper gift deed document and the remaining five are settlement land parcels.
The corporation has more than 2,000 OSR sites within its limits, of which about 1,400-odd sites have got their title transferred. The remaining 464 files have been pending for more than six months.
Commenting on this data, activist S P Thiyagarajan told TOI, "The numbers presented at the meeting are just from the approved layouts. Whereas the corporation has nearly 2,300 OSR sites. They should list the OSR sites within apartments, commercial complexes and unapproved layouts. All these should be reclaimed and have a title transfer."
