Local bodies dept nod paves way for transfer of LIT colonies to MC

1 2 Ludhiana: With the local bodies department approving the Ludhiana Improvement Trust (LIT) proposal for transfer of colonies to the MC, LIT officials will approach the civic body to take over the colonies and handle maintenance work. The proposal, which had been pending for over 12 years, was taken up again in the run-up to bypolls in the west constituency. However, with the transfer of these colonies, the cash-strapped MC will have to arrange funds for these areas as well. MP Sanjeev Arora, mayor Inderjit Kaur, MC commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal and Ludhiana Improvement Trust (LIT) chairman Tarsem Bhinder made the official announcement about the transfer of colonies. Authorities claimed that it would come as a relief for the one lakh residents living in these areas. The five schemes that will go to MC are Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar – 475 acres; Maharishi Balmiki Nagar – 256 acres; Rajguru Nagar – 129 acres; Bharat Nagar Extension – 30 acres; and Sant Isher Singh Nagar – 8.4. acres. As of now, the government has held the resolution for transfer of Sukhdev Enclave due to technical reasons. However, LIT chairman Tarsem Bhinder said that it would be done in the next few days. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Google Brain Co-Founder Andrew Ng, Recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Around Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo Once MC adopts these areas, residents of the five colonies will no longer need to visit two separate offices —LIT and MCL — to avail of services. Previously, services related to water supply, sewerage, house tax, and property tax were handled by the municipal corporation, while NoC (No Objection Certificate) and NDC (No Due Certificate) services were provided by LIT. With transfer of the colonies, the services will be available with the MC, which will also undertake development works in these areas. The change is expected to bring about significant benefits, as the MC has more manpower and resources as compared to LIT. The MC will now be responsible for providing essential civic amenities, such as sanitation, road maintenance, street lights, water supply, and solid waste management in these localities. According to MC officials, the exercise will begin with the formation of joint teams comprising MC and LIT officials. The teams will visit colonies to check the status of basic amenities. If any colony or area needs beautification or upliftment, the team members will prepare estimates and LIT will be asked to bear the cost. Thereafter, a proposal will be put up in the MC general house for approval. The resolution will be sent to the local bodies department, and the areas in question will be transferred to the civic body after receipt of approval. Residents of these colonies have been facing considerable problems due to mismanagement of essential services. Lack of sanitation arrangements has led to irregular garbage collection, with residents blaming the dependence on private contractors for the state of affairs. As a result, it is common to see piles of garbage in the area. The proposal to take over these schemes was discussed and approved in an MC general house meeting in 2013, but the LIT refused to hand over scheme areas. At the time, the LIT said that if the scheme areas were handed over to the MC, they would have little to do as they were not managing any other areas except for the ones in the scheme. The LIT floated another proposal in 2023 and then cancelled it on its own on the grounds that it was yet to recover a large amount in the form of non-construction fee (NCF) from defaulters. They also pointed out that certain properties were left for auction in these colonies, because of which they could not hand over the scheme areas.
