In a shocking development, the National Textile Corporation (NTC) has been found to have transferred 6 hectare government land that was on lease. The state government has taken a decision to stop all allotment of FSI to NTC unless they pay up a fine of Rs. 38 crore.
A six- hectare stretch of land in the vicinity of Worli's New Hind Mill had been given on lease to NTC. This land has been now sold to a private developer for a much bigger price. It has been revealed that the NTC has done this without taking any permission from the state government. The NTC was supposed to take permission from the government by paying up Rs 38 crore.
However, this was not done. Till such time as the NTC does not pay up this money, no new FSI should be given to it.
This was decided in a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, NTC Chairman Milta, Rita Menon and Joint CEO Gulati, chief secretary Ratnakar Gaikwad, senior officers and Nanded municipal commissioner.
The Chaityabhoomi land issue was also discussed at this meeting. Of the 12 acre land in Hindu mill, the NTC has given 4 acres for Chaityabhoomi. Outplans for remaining 8 acres are being finalised. Plans for six acres out of this have been submitted. NTC officers said that the remaining plans will be submitted by the 15th of March. The CM also directed construction of a museum in Sector 5.
The NTC owns a textile mill at Nanded. Approximately 600 families stay in the vicinity of this mill. It was decided that they should be rehabilitated by the local body. An extra FSI of 2.5 has been granted for the same.
