A
four-acre prime land worth over Rs 193 crore allotted to a private hospital
here has been lying unused. A local resident has filed the second appeal under
the RTI Act before the State Information Commission (SIC) but the HSVP, which
had leased out the land, has not been provided him information about its
current status.
The land
was allotted in 1991 to a private welfare trust in Sector 16-A here for running
a hospital on lease for 99 years at Rs 15.09 lakh per acre, totaling Rs 60.36
lakh. A letter dated March 19, 1991, was issued by the HSVP (then HUDA) office
here to the New Delhi-based allottee.
While
according to the rules, the plot was to be used for hospital on the condition
that 25 per cent of the beds will be free and reserved for the weaker sections,
it is revealed that a private hospital stopped functioning about five years
ago.
Kailash
Sharma, a local resident, alleged the plot was on the target of the land mafia.
“Though
the land already stands resumed, any decision regarding its use will be taken
by the state government,” said an HSVP official.
