Ramgarh people demand amendments in building by-laws of CBR

The owner of 400 multi-storey buildings under the jurisdiction of Cantonment Board Ramgarh (CBR) told the media that they would soon hit the streets to demand amendments to the 98-year-old building by-laws of CBR, which consider buildings above G+1 as illegal.

Recently, CBR served notices to around 400 such buildings, which are G+4, and threatened to demolish those illegal buildings.

The owner of a shopping mall in Ramgarh Garrison and President of Ramgarh Vikas Manch, Kamal Bagaria, said that the building by-laws should be amended to suit today’s times when it is an emerging city close to Ranchi.

He added that such archaic laws would limit the development of the city.

State Vice President of Small Industries India, Vijay Mewar, said that the Cantonment Board in Pune permits an eight-storey building.

Ramgarh is one of the 62 Cantonment Boards in India where the local municipal corporation functions under the administrative control of the Ministry of Defence. According to the CBR rule, only G+1 buildings are allowed.

Former MLA Shankar Choudhary wrote to Cantonment Board Ramgarh about 400 buildings seeking action after which the notice was served.

CBR told the media that the board would soon send a proposal to allow the G+4 building to the headquarters, after which any action could be taken.

Gujarat Struggles to Curb Illegal Constructions in Ahmedabad

The Gujarat Regulation of Unauthorised Development Act, 2022, presents a contradiction. While it ostensibly seeks to curb unauthorised development, it simultaneously legalises such constructions upon payment of a fee. Despite being introduced initially in the early 2000s, then again in 2011, and most recently enacted in 2022, the legislation has failed to halt the rise of illegal constructions or unapproved extensions to residential and commercial properties. The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's (AMC) practice of demolishing certain structures while regularising others for a fee has weakened..

This decision offers significant relief to industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing, where long..
