 The Hon. Municipal Commissioner,
Thane Municipal Corporation,
Thane.

Respected Sir,

The Society where I reside, Saket CHSL, Swantraveer Savarkar Marg, Thane (W) is a single Society of 24 buildings comprising of 672 members.
The complex was constructed in the period 1989 - 1993.
Being a single Society for 672 members has brought with it its pluses and minuses.
The numbers have helped us in economising our own transport system - we don't rely on TMT and have our own fleet of private buses running from 5.30 am to 11.45 pm.
The same numbers prove to be a bane as many times, there is virtually no agreement amongst members on many subjects.
One such subject is the Repairs and Renovation of our almost 25 years old buildings.
Our society doesn't have an Occupation Certificate due to a case against our builder launched by the Anti Corruption Bureau way back in 1999. 
The case is still dragging on in the Court.
As there is no OC, we have not been able to get the Conveyance done in the Society's favor.
The buildings being 25 years old, badly need repairs.
The last Structural Audit we did a couple of years ago has shown that corrosion levels are in the 50% to  75% bracket - which is very severe and chronic.
The PMC appointed by the Society has given an estimate of RS 12 crores for Repairs and Renovation - members find it very steep and refused to contribute.
We are therefore in a bind.
If something untoward happens to our buildings, then we will literally be on the streets as without OC and Conveyance, we can't even opt for redevelopment as an option.
In the given situation, when I was discussing various alternatives with Corporators Milind Patankar, Suhas Desai and Najeeb Mulla, the thought of Cluster Development came to my mind and hence I am writing to you.

Sir, the total area of our complex is appx 47,000 sq. mtrs.
I feel that Cluster Development can be a solution to our woes, if TMC grants permission to our complex and includes it in the scheme.
I request you to please grant us an appointment so that we can meet and discuss with you about the same.

Regards,

Dayanand Nene

Code of Conduct for Repairs and Renovation of Members Flats in Saket CHSL.

Code of Conduct for Repairs and Renovation of Members Flats in Saket CHSL. Dear Member, You may be aware that a large number of flats in the society are undergoing Repairs and Renovation at any point of time, which are carried out many times without proper permission from the society. Over the years, these rampant and extensive repairs have resulted in: 1.     Altering the elevation of the building. 2.     Altering the original plan of the flat. 3.     Damaging the building structure. 4.     Inconveniencing the neighbors. Your Committee is in the process of obtaining Occupation Certificate (OC) from the Thane Municipal Corporation and any such flats who have altered from the basic plan may not be given OC by the TMC – and the society wont be able to do anything in this regard. For your information, i f member wants to do internal structural changes in his flat, he has to obtain approval from Municipal Corpor...

Dear Friend, The BJP is currently conducting a " Vistarak Yojana" - introduction / spread of the party's ideology to the people. Through personal contact, door to door campaign, letters, mails and meetings, party leaders, office bearers and karyakartas are contacting people on occasion of the party ideologue Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay ji's  birth centenary celebrations. This letter is a part of that endeavor. Introduction: Pandit Deendayalji  Upadhyay was the leader of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh from 1953 to 1968. A profound philosopher, organiser par excellence and a leader who maintained the highest standards of personal integrity, he has been the source of ideological guidance and moral inspiration for the BJP since its inception. His treatise Integral Humanism, which is a critique of both communism and capitalism, provides a holistic alternative perspective for political action and statecraft consistent with the laws of Creation and the universal needs of...
