The Tamil Nadu Housing Board allottees arguing with the officials in the city on Tuesday.Orunkinaintha Tamil Nadu Kovai Veetu Vasathi Variya Pirivu Othukeetalargal Nala Sangham has urged the Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) to initiate action against officials for administrative lapses and the resultant delay and denial of sale deeds. They also sought a probe by the CB-CID police into the issue. D. Perumal and K. Jayachandran, convenor and secretary of the Sangham respectively, in a release said a delegation of allottees went to the TNHB office in Sivananda Colony on Tuesday and presented a memorandum to the authorities. Those who got houses in various schemes of the TNHB across the district had been waiting for their sale deeds for more than 10 years.The authorities had delayed the process of finalising the prices for land owing to disputes over land acquisition and this had resulted in the delay in disbursement of sale deeds to the allottees.
To cover up their administrative lapses, the officials had led to a situation wherein these disputes had turned out to be Land Acquisition Original Petitions. A probe by the State Crime Branch CID should be ordered, they said.The TNHB authorities should honour the written agreement reached between them and the allottees in the presence of the Revenue Divisional Officer on March 21.They should bear the cost escalation arising out of interest for the delayed period, interest accrued on the interest, penal interest and interests added on to the capital arrears, they said.
