Land pooling prevents some Gelephu landowners from starting construction
 |
October 4: In Gelephu, some land owners are complaining that they have not been allowed to start construction while others have been allowed to do so. Construction in the new town planning zone has been suspended since 2000.
Ap Sangay, a Gelephu resident said he was given permission to construct a house as far back as 2006. So he procured the required materials and prepared to begin construction. But then he was told he cannot go ahead. Now his construction material has all but disappeared.
Ap Sangay owns a 13 decimal land.
Municipal officials said only those who own about an acre of land have been granted permission.

"I have been seeking permission since 2003. The timber has started rotting and stones have been stolen." Dema Tshering said.
Chophel Dorji, a municipal official in Gelephu said approval were given to only land owners who own more than an acre of land because it will not hamper the land pooling scheme.
The land pooling is carried out for constructing access roads, drains, and other utilities.
