Gandhinagar: explosion of gas pipes in the upper class housing community in Kalol near Gandhinagar eight months ago has led the state government to become hyper-alert to this problem.
In fact, Gujarat City Head Planner issued direction to all city city planners and those employed with urban development authorities for Mandatory looking for ONC Nocs as a prerequisite for passing the building plan.
Although the provisions are not new, the incident in Kalol where two houses collapsed and killed two people, had made it mandatory for developers to find several permits, which reportedly had cascading effects on construction activities in the state.
It is lowned that the construction plan, the new resort permit the Carnavati Club located in Mulsana Village in Gandhinagar district has been under the clouds because of this.
The source of the source said that the new club’s tentative construction plan was awaiting permission from the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (Auda) as the ONGC pipeline from Parcel Land.
The source said that despite making provisions to leave enough space around the pipe according to the norms, their plans waited for the permission distance.
Auda CEO A B GOR ​​claims that Auda has not received a detailed plan of the club.
“The rules are clear.
We need a detailed plan to start the NOC process with ONC.
Until now our office has not received a detailed plan from the Club Carnavati,” GOR said.
The City Head of State Planner B S Shah said that the provisions for examining oil pipes or underground gases and electrical lines have been valid for a long time.
“Somehow it was not followed by the developers, so after the incident of Kalol, we categorically direct all the city planning officers concerned not to issue any permits before NOC needed,” Shah said.
Industry experts say that the gas gas pipeline problem has placed several real estate projects in improvements.
It has been 11 real estate projects in Vastral and two projects in Nikol, from which the ONCC lanes passed, postponed, AMC source said.
At least 12 to 15 meters the buffer space on both sides of the underground ONGC line must be left unlimited according to the existing guidelines.
“The delay will be four months to obtain Ongc permission.
After citizens approach the city’s body or urban development authorities for the approval of the plan, the city authority must independently seek the NOC from ONC and the citizens, if there is an ONCON line nearby.
This application is processed at The Chandkheda Ongc office and then sent to his head office in Mumbai for approval, “said a senior city planning officer at Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC).
It should be mentioned here that for the past 9 years, civilians such as AMC have begun to combine ONC lines on their city planning maps after site inspection.

The housing community concerned is located near the ONTC field in Kalol.
