News Dated: 14 Nov 2008
All local bodies have been directed to reserve five per cent of their budgetary provision for the weaker section each year for the purpose of constructing houses for conservancy workers. The state government will also release funds for such projects as and when required.
It also states that if the civic body decides to implement a mass housing project for such workers on its land or on land owned by the state, then the project will be granted a maximum Floor Space Index (FSI) of four. If the same project is carried out through a private builder, he will be allowed 50 per cent of the total built up area as his incentive FSI.
Meanwhile, a corporator in Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), Dr Siddharth Dhende, has demanded the removal of the 25-year service period as condition for the scheme. “Once a conservancy worker completes 25 years of service, the allowance given for working in miserable conditions is stopped. Therefore, all the conservancy workers, who are in service presently, should be provided free housing under the scheme,” Dhende said.
“Secondly, if private developers are allowed 50 per cent of the total built up area as incentive FSI under the scheme, conservancy workers should be provided a housing of 400 sq ft instead of the 269 sq ft carpet area as mentioned in the state resolution,” he added.
