The Bharatiya Janata Party is in power at the Town Hall. Claiming that the civic agency is hand in glove with the ruling party, Sharma said: "In clear violation of the MCD rules, plots measuring 1.5 and 2.5 acres have been allotted for building apartment complex. The land was meant for civic facilities like parks and community centre. This was done to increase the ground coverage of the housing society and give undue benefits to DLF." The real estate major is building eight and nine storey apartment buildings in the E and W blocks of the Greater Kailash-II. The building plans were sanctioned in 2007. DLF has already started construction on the plots. Captain KS Singh, a MCD councilor from south Delhi, said: "When the plots were allotted the topography of the area was very different from what it is today. Now, the area is densely populated. So, there should be no construction here as civic infrastructure will crumble if these housing projects come up." However, MCD officials refute the charges, saying the resolution for allowing the construction was passed by the Standing Committee way back in 1989. Some residents had also moved the Supreme Court on the issue, but the court ruled in favour of the MCD. The layout plan was sanctioned around two years ago. "I have asked the Commissioner to look into the matter and submit a report within three days," Standing Committee chairman R K Singhal said.
