G.O.(Ms).No.50, Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board, Formation of 100 feet road in Perumbakkam scheme
The Housing and Urban Development (SC1(2)) Department issued G.O.(Ms).No.50 dated 29 February 2016, granting administrative sanction and releasing Rs.957.60 lakh from the Infrastructure and Amenities Fund to the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board. The money is for forming a 100 feet wide, 1.50 KM long road on the eastern side of the Perumbakkam housing scheme, primarily to provide access to a proposed bus terminus.
What the government approved
The Housing and Urban Development (SC1(2)) Department, through G.O.(Ms).No.50 dated 29 February 2016, approved a grant of Rs.957.60 lakh to the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board. The grant comes from the State Infrastructure and Amenities Fund and is specifically for forming a 100 feet road on the eastern side of the Perumbakkam scheme.
The planned road is 1.50 KM long. The Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board stated that its approved financial provisions covered internal scheme roads but did not cover this 100 feet wide arterial road, so it could not meet the cost itself.
Why the road was proposed
The Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board was constructing 20,376 multistoried tenements at Perumbakkam under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission. The project covered 200 acres and was intended to rehabilitate slum families living in objectionable areas in different parts of Chennai.
The proposal was based on the following circumstances:
- The rehabilitation site is about 20 km from Chennai City.
- More than 1 lakh people were estimated to commute daily for work, education and other needs.
- Five acres had been earmarked for a proposed bus terminus.
- A 100 feet road had been included on the eastern side of the layout to provide access to the proposed terminus.
- The Infrastructure and Amenities Promotion Committee recommended the funding proposal.
Who is affected
G.O.(Ms).No.50 directly concerns the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board, the Director of Town and Country Planning and residents of the Perumbakkam rehabilitation scheme. Residents and commuters may benefit from the planned road access and the transport facilities it was intended to support.
For property buyers and owners, G.O.(Ms).No.50 is a project funding approval. The text does not provide for a change of land use, transfer of ownership, land acquisition or alteration of individual property rights.
Funding and accountability
G.O.(Ms).No.50 provides that the sanctioned amount must not be paid in cash. The Director of Town and Country Planning was authorised to draw it by account payee cheque in favour of the personal deposit account of the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board.
The Managing Director of the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board was required to provide the Director of Town and Country Planning with a copy of the government order and details of expenditure for the necessary accounting adjustments at the close of financial year 2015-2016.
