MC plans mortgage of Burlton Park land
Jalandhar, October 13 There are plans that another piece of this land will be sold out after developing commercial complex on this land. A plan to construct five star hotel is also included. This comes to the fore as per the new list of agendas released by the corporation.
Some part of this amount will be diverted to for the upgradation of 25-km stretch of 11 prominent roads of the city. Works on Global Environment Facility- SUTP Project will also be chalked out from the same amount. Initially there were plans that total land of park, value of which is near to Rs 800 crore, will be mortgaged but to keep 10 acres of land, which the authorities want to develop for commercial purposes, free of any loan amount. As this site is registered as park in records of the Revenue Department, the authorities are trying to change to the status of purpose of land use to “Mixed Land Use” so that this land can be used for commercial purposes also. “Even the governments are offering incentives, turn up rate of young players is too low in all over state. There is no ‘Pay and Play’ culture in our society except some big metropolitan cities. Overall scenario of sports in India is not very encouraging. Already there are number of internationally renowned sports centers in Jalandhar. Why authorities never bother to develop these centres which had produced international famed players,” said one higher official of the Sports Department. “The Municipal Corporation is meant to provide basic facilities like clean drinking water, sanitation and sewerage facilities. Moreover, 10 acres of land only return Rs 100-150 crore. How will the corporation manage to return rest of amount of loan and interest, as major works running under corporation are of public welfare, which are obviously not profit oriented projects. This project is not at all viable,” said one official of corporation on the condition of anonymity.
