Topic::Crown development work has to continue


Dear Community, this is regarding the possible Topic::Residents’ Assembly Decision “To stop all development work on the Crown until further notice from the Residents’ Assembly. ”

ATDC would like to clarify that irrespective of the outcome of the Residents’ Assembly Meeting and the Residents’ Assembly Decision that might follow, the Crown development work has to continue in compliance with Sections 19(2)(c) and 17(e) of the Auroville Foundation Act, and the decisions taken by the Governing Board on 2nd Nov, 2021.

Below is one of the decision points minuted by the Governing Board:

“2.8 All Master Plan deviations on the land earmarked for the Crown have to be cleared so that the circular Crown Road and related infrastructure can be built without further delay. A similar exercise shall be implemented for the twelve radials and the outer ring road, where land ownership permits.”

Furthermore, continuation of Crown development work shall be subject to the verdict of National Green Tribunal, Southern Zone, Chennai.


Sincerely,
Entity::ATDC
