Chandigarh MC Faces Dilemma Over Manimajra Land Disposal
The Chandigarh Municipal Corporation (MC) wants to sell land in Manimajra for building houses, but there's a problem.
The government says the selling price should be based on something called the 'collector rate,' but the exact rate for this land hasn't been decided yet.
The MC has asked the local Deputy Commissioner to clarify which rate to use, so they can figure out the price and move forward.
A committee of officials is working on the sale's details, but they are stuck until the collector rate is specified.
They are unsure whether to use rates from nearby areas or other rates.
MC is facing difficulties in disposing of Manimajra land.
The UT estate department decided collector rate will be the reserve price.
MC needs clarification on the collector rate for the land.
The MC has written to the Deputy Commissioner for clarification.
A committee is preparing terms, but awaits the collector rate.
