This is to brief you on the recent happenings and the
actions taken by the Society so far. Hope this will provide
some insight into the issues that we are encountering today
and how they could be resolved effectively.
Meeting with Mr. Vayalar Ravi, NRI Minister
We had a meeting with Mr. Vayalar Ravi during the recent
visit to Kuwait. He advised us not to be complacent
by complaining alone, rather go and take ground actions from
Bangalore where your properties are situated! He directed us
to take police and judicial actions.
When we briefed him about our affirmative actions taken so
far, he did appreciate us and directed us to keep working
through the Police and Judicial authorities until the
problems are fully resolved. He reiterated that there is no
tailor made shortcut solutions for NRIs alone to handle
Athina type situations.
Visit of M/s. Jacob Thomas and Nandakumar to Bangalore
Both of them have visited Bangalore from 24-26 March to
assess the ground realities and to see what progress we have
made. They discussed the matters with our Lawyer and Police
officials. When we asked the Lawyer about the status of our
Suit, he replied that the court pointed out the lack of
members, and secondly about the longitude of civil matters.
He suggested that out of court settlement should not be
ruled out in certain situations. Mr. Jacob & Mr. Nandan
also met some investors and people in the Athina neighborhood
also.
Civil Suit against Joseph Chacko and Citiscape Properties
The last hearing was on 30th March. Following the objection
raised by Chacko’s lawyer, the court adjourned for next
hearing on 30th May, 2007.
BDA
Order to stop all works in Athina Layout
The catalyst for the said BDA order was a representation
that we sent to the CM office on 17-12-06, who forwarded the
letter to the BDA for further actions! Athina is an illegal
layout formed in violation of the greenbelt regulations. We
must take immediate measures to stop BDA from taking further
actions against us and do the needful to take BDA approval
for our layout.
Cable Shreedhar Occupation
The affected sites are published in our website, and site
owners are advised to send their details to our Bangalore
office. In the meanwhile, we are collecting the background
information of the issue to proceed with litigation.
Recently, Mr. George Varghese and Mr. Nandakumar visited
Shreedhar and a dialogue has begun.
Stage I - SC/ST issue
As we all know, the revenue records of Stage-I is still
under name of the original owners. This is a granted
property to the daliths. There is a background to this
issue. It has now become a major issue that requires our
immediate attention of all site owners to take a joint
action. A meeting of Phase-I owners was held on
22-4-07 at 7pm at United India School.
We request all site
owners of Phase I to contact immediately Mr. George Varghese
on Tel.
91-9845-022-015
to
know the most recent development and for the action to be
taken.
Financial needs
The last but not the least, in order to proceed any further
on the pending issues, it is most urgent to raise the
required funds as we have already decided in our last
General Body meeting.
