A high-level team from the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) led by the District Environmental Engineer, together with the Advisor on Environmental Issues to the Hon’ble Collector of Cuddalore District visited our Sewage Treatment Plant at around 12 PM.

The STP Taskforce including Mr. Kumar Engineer, Secretary, Joint Secretary and other EC Members were present at the Site.

The team expressed satisfaction and the Learned Advisor gave a number of suggestions to improve the operations as well the environmental impact of our township.

Based on his input, we are putting together a 3-6 month plan for Zero Carbon Footprint impact for our Township.

Meeting with the Block Development Officer at Circuit House

Members of the Taskforce on Regularisation of the Township Layout and Plots met Mr. Sarathy, the Block Development Officer and discussed the status of our Layout Regularisation project and asked him a few questions for clarifications.

Mr. Sarathy was gracious enough to help us with some pointers on the application. We also discussed the modality of bringing in Panchayat civic services to our township and were told that we will have to get our township regularised before we can rightfully ask for Government services.

These meetings are part of our ongoing efforts to get our township regularised by the DTCP and the Local Government so that our roads, common amenities, etc could be funded, repaired, built if necessary and maintained by the Panchayat, from the house tax, development fees, regularisation fees and other levies contributed by the residents of the township.

Time: 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Saturday

Excellent Notes on a number of practical points and tips by Shri. Mohan Raman.

  1. The outcome of a correctly filed on-line registration for regularisation to the DTCP is a two page letter from DTCP. It accords approval in principle to regularise the Anugraha plot purchase and construction of the house. The DTCP letter is in ‘official’ Tamil and therefore takes time to understand. It is addressed to the BDO Cuddalore who takes action as authorised by the DTCP; a copy is endorsed to the owner.
  2. The BDO levies a Regularisation Fee to cover purchase of the property. He also levies a Development Fee to cover the construction of the house at Anugraha. In addition to documentary proof of these payments being made, the BDO requires certain other documents before issuing final orders. This has to be done by the house owner.
  3. This note has been compiled to guide owners who are not resident at Anugraha or are unfamiliar with Cuddalore. It is based on the personal feedback from a number of Anugraha house owners.
  4. Most of the documents required by the BDO would be readily available with the owner; however three are new. Starting with the new documents, the following lists the document pack needed to be submitted.
    1. NEW: An A4 Colour print out of a photograph of the House (Photo to be taken with house owner standing in front of the house). If this is not held, a snap taken on a smartphone will do. There is a very convenient net cafe on the left-hand side of the main road from Anugraha to Cuddalore where the hard copy A4 size print out can be produced. It is in the ground floor of a large new temple, about 1 km from the Anugraha gate.
    2. NEW: Original receipt of payment made to Indian Bank of Development Fee of Rs 5,600/- The amount is to be credited to the account held at Indian Bank, Semmandalam Branch, as per details below: The bank is located on Nellikuppam Road, which forks to the right at a roundtana on the road from Anugraha to Cuddalore. TO SAVE TIME: You can pay into the above account from your branch if you have an Indian Bank a/c; there is no commission charge. There are other options as well, which can charge. There are other options as well, which can be ascertained from any Indian Bank branch. It is important to ensure that you have an Indian Bank receipt in original, as proof of the entire amount having been paid into the account. An example is in the Annexure:
    3. NEW: Regularisation fee of Rs 6700/. A challan in triplicate is obtainable at the sub-treasury, Cuddalore, next to the Taluk Office on Kurinjipadi Cuddalore Road. After it is filled up, it will be rubber stamped. Then pay in the amount in cash at SBI Thirupathiripuliyur Branch, about 1km away. The branch is on the Cuddalore- Nagapattinam highway, and the landmark is ‘Near the Dina Thanthi office’. You will get the remitter’s copy of the challan. TIP: The challan takes time to fill; if possible, get a challan form TNTC 9 and fill it up before hand at home, as per sample in the annexures. Even xerox copies of the form are OK, and are available at numerous vendors for Rs 5.
    4. Xerox copy of registration document.
    5. Xerox copy of E.C.
    6. Parent Document xerox copy if available
    7. Xerox copy of Aadhar card
    8. Xerox copy of FEES Receipt of online registration submitted to DTCP.
    9. Either the original letter from DTCP to BDO (If DTCP gave it to you in addition to your copy)OR the original of the copy sent to you. (KEEP XEROX IF YOU SUBMIT THE ORIGINAL OF DTCP LETTER TO YOU).
  5. The above should be submitted at the BDO’s office. It is on the first floor of a large new building on the left, just within the Cuddalore Circuit House compound, a well known local landmark. This compound, on Nellikuppam Road, (the same road as the Indian Bank) is close to the roundtana.
  6. The dealing Assistant at the BDO, Mr Rajavel, is a very kind and helpful person. He says the final orders take about 2 weeks to process. He recommends collection in person, and careful preservation thereafter.
  7. The final order is the authority for paying the property tax for 2018-19, which fell due in April 2018. Mr Rajavel says the tax might have been enhanced from 2017-18. The revised amount and arrears have to be paid now: CHECK WITH THE TAX COLLECTOR AT ANUGRAHA.
  8. A final point. Cuddalore is congested and the traffic is heavy. If not familiar with locations, navigation and parking can be challenges. One way to address this would be sequencing the activities correctly. The following route is suggested: first the sub treasury, then the SBI, followed by Indian Bank (if payment at Nellikuppam Road is preferred); finally the BDO Office. Nellikuppam Road is preferred); finally the BDO Office. In the absence of unexpected delays all the above can be completed in about three hours.

 

Farewell to Hon’ble Sub Collector cum SDM

The Township represented by the taskforce met and bid a very warm farewell to Shri, Johny Tom Varghese IAS, the Sub Collector and Sub Divisional Magistrate of Cuddalore.

The Association, on behalf of all Homeowners and Residents presented a Citation in appreciation of all the help rendered by him to our township.

We exchanged fond memories of our working together for the past 10 months and hoped to meet again.

Legal Consultation

A six member team had comprehensive legal consultantation with a counsel in the upcoming 18 July 2018 case date.

The meeting lasted 30 minutes and the entire complaint was dissected.

Bank Accounts unsuspended.

The Secretary, Joint Secretary and the Treasurer, visited the Syndicate Bank, Reddichavadi, protesting the suspension of the Association’s two accounts and met the Manager.

The Manager was told numerous stories that were quite liberal with truth by Mr. Meganathan who has sought to take over the Association claiming to represent all house owners.

We patiently explained the truth to the Manager who immediately unsuspended the accounts.

The various vexatious tactics of the antisocial elements will not succeed. Once they have filed a suit against the association, we will defend the association rigorously, including counter suits to ensure safety for the township and interests of the home owners.

Bank Account Suspended

In response to the Affidavit copy sent to the Syndicate Bank, Reddichavadi, by Mr. Mohammad Shahid and Mr. Meganathan M, the two accounts were placed on suspension, we learnt today afternoon.

We will be taking counter measures to release the accounts from suspension to enable continued operations of the Association despite vigorous and continued efforts and attacks by vested interests to cripple the Association and the Township.
