Chandigarh civic body commissioner, DC discuss collector rate for Manimajra housing

                Chandigarh: Municipal commissioner Amit Kumar Monday held a meeting with deputy commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav and other officers concerned to clarify queries 
regarding the 
collector's rate for the chunk of land in Manimajra, where the civic body has planned its housing project.Sources said both the senior officers had a detailed discussion on the 
matter, and 
the DC's office will soon send its reply over the collector's rate through an official letter to MC, so that it can proceed with its housing project. The sources said since various 
departments 
are involved in this exercise, it will take the DC's office a few days to specify the collector's rate of the area, thereby enabling MC to go ahead with land auction for the 
project.It must be 
recalled that MHA has issued a specific direction in case of land disposal in Chandigarh. It says that the collector's rate of the land will be its reserve price. So, it's incumbent 
on MC to 
auction the land based on the collector's rate, keeping it as the reserve price of the land.
