Dear GPA Holders in Society Flats
Dear Brother/Sister,
I am writing this letter to share our mutual anguish and harassment at being a holder of the instrument of the General Power of Attorney in respect of owning a flat in a group Housing Society. How tragic it is to face discrimination in the face of established laws and the pitiable apathy of the Chandigarh in granting GPA holders a status matching that of original alottees? Words fail to describe the paradox. Now what can we do…….??
History is testimony that restoration of anything….Rights, Independence, Status ET all is preceded by” STRUGGLE”. The struggle for India’s Independence started in 1857 and Indians struggled to throw the yoke of slavery well after 90 years i.e. in 1947. So for us, too, it has become imperative to launch our struggle .Struggle that should proceed achieving our following goals:
1. Chandigarh Administration should allow transfer of flats in favour of the holder’s of General Power of Attorney where a period of five years has elapsed from the allotment of land to the Society. Where land has been allotted on Free hold Basis, the Transfer be allowed without any Transfer Charges, similar to other Free hold property in the City.
2. Where land to Society has been granted on Lease hold basis, Administation Should immediately formalize a mechanism for its conversion to Free Hold as has been done in case of other schemes floated by the Chandigarh Housing Board, the Nodal Agency of the Administration. Also Occupation Certificates to such societies that have become habitable be granted without any reference to the alleged violations committed by individuals, as has been accepted for the transfer in other schemes of the Chandigarh Administration/Chandigarh Housing Board.
It was in the year 2004, when for the first time I had raised the issue of the plight of the GPAs in the Media as well as with political leadership in the City. During the intervening period, I had tried to share my views with various organizations and the political leadership and work for an Honorable Solution to the issue of Transfer of the flats in favour of the GPAs.I write with anguish, no concrete results came in and the matter hangs there only.
Now that both the Chandigarh Administration and local political leadership has failed to focus the problem in its right perspective, I am of firm the opinion, let the people decide their fait accompali. I also believe that results shall come from the people not the political leadership. I exhort you to rise to the occasion and join the struggle in your personal right as a leader and draw people around you to join the struggle, common to all of us. Our struggle alone shall lead us to the solution of our problem. If Chandigarh Administration fails to accommodate the sentiments we shall be only compelled to launch agitation on the streets to achieve our rightful place in the Society. JOIN HANDS YOURSELF AND BRING PEOPLE AROUND YOU UNDER ONE FOLD. We have to plan to work, so do kindly call me on cell phone 9888-255-128 for your suggestion and to affirm your solidarity with the cause
