Sagar Watch News/ Under the Amrit Harit Maha Abhiyan, a divisional-level Urban Environment Conservation Workshop was held on Friday at Padmakar Auditorium with a special focus on the Zero Waste theme.

Municipal Commissioner said the campaign is not limited to planting trees but is a long-term commitment to providing a clean, green, and safe environment for future generations. He stressed that tree planting is essential to address rising pollution, increasing temperatures, and water scarcity in cities.

Experts highlighted the long-term benefits of tree plantation, including improved air quality, water conservation, temperature control, biodiversity protection, and better public health. 

Emphasis was also laid on using local plant species to create sustainable green spaces. A live telecast of state-level activities under the campaign helped officials learn about ongoing innovations and best practices.

Sagar Watch News/ The Municipal Commissioner of Sagar, Mr. Rajkumar Khatri, has ordered strict action against shop allottees of the D.D. Complex in Katra Bazaar who have failed to take possession despite allotment. 

He directed the Market Branch In-charge, Mr. Anand Mangal Guru, to give a final three-day notice to such allottees. If possession is not taken within this period, their deposited amount will be forfeited and the allotment cancelled as per rules.

Out of 41 allotted shops, 11 allottees have deposited the full amount, 25 have paid 50 percent, and four have paid only 25 percent. Only those who cleared full payment have applied for possession. 

The Corporation clarified that earlier notices were issued and civic issues at the complex—such as electricity, sanitation, water supply, access roads and basic amenities—were resolved after on-site inspection by the Commissioner. 

Despite this, several allottees have not taken possession. After the three-day deadline, such shops will be cancelled and included again in the re-allotment process.

Special Points 

  • Final three-day ultimatum issued to defaulting shop allottees.

  • Deposit forfeiture and cancellation of allotment after deadline.

  • Out of 41 shops, only 11 fully paid and applied for possession.

  • Civic problems in the complex were addressed and resolved earlier.

  • Cancelled shops will be re-included in the fresh allotment process.
