GHAZIABAD: The Ghaziabad Development Authority has found irregularities in 700 flats in an integrated township flouting building bylaws. So far, no stringent measures have been taken against these units, but the Authority will thoroughly study the fact finding report and initiate action. Some of 2, 3 and 4BHK flats in the township are occupied and families are living in them. 

GDA has been conducting a drive against unauthorized constructions across the city from the past many days. "For the drive, the city has been dived into eight zones. The Authority has been conducting a physical verification of buildings, especially highrises across the city. The maps submitted by builders are being physically verified by several teams. There are cases in which the developers have increased FAR, while there are major violations in which developers constructed the projects more than displayed in the layout plan passed by the Authority," GDA vice chairman, Santosh Kumar Yadav, said. 

"The Authority has decided not to take any stringent action against these units as such irregularities appear frequently. Once the entire report comes out, we will decide the future course of action," Yadav added. 

"Developers are not only cheating innocent homebuyers by selling flats not approved by the Authority, but are deceiving GDA by not paying taxes and compounding fees," said Yadav.
