The functioning of the HUDA Employees’ Welfare Organisation (HEWO), which constructed multi-storey group housing apartments in the upscale Sector 6 of Mansa Devi Complex(MDC), Panchkula, has come under the vigilance scanner.
Employees of Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), besides several IAS officers, were the original allottees of the society.
Acting on a complaint of the HEWO, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today ordered a vigilance probe into the alleged irregularities in the functioning of the housing society. The probe was ordered when the HUDA Workers’ Union called on him in connection with the redressal of their grievances.
Irregularities had been alleged in the allotment of apartments and “unreasonable enhancement” of land and construction cost of the flats at regular intervals in the society which was allotted land in 2001.
The society was reportedly completed in 2009 following which possession was given to the allottees, a substantial number of whom later sold off their apartments at “hefty premium” allegedly in violation of terms and conditions of the allotment.
It was alleged that the original allottes transferred their flats to subsequent buyers without getting the conveyance deeds registered with the authorities concerned.
Sources said names of several allottees of the society figured in the infamous multiple plot allottment case in which the beneficiaries, including HUDA employees, got themselves allotted multiple plots or flats in urban estates of Haryana.
