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.

Commissioner’s Order: Pros and Cons

Pros

• Ensures administrative discipline and accountability.

• Prevents blocking of commercial space due to non-serious allottees.

• Sends a strong message against delays and negligence.

• Opens the way for re-allotment to genuine applicants, improving market utilization.

• Action is backed by prior notices and resolution of basic facilities, strengthening fairness.

Cons

• A three-day period may be too short for some allottees to arrange pending funds.

• Financial forfeiture could affect small traders facing genuine economic difficulties.

• May lead to disputes or legal challenges from aggrieved allottees.

• Does not provide scope for case-by-case relaxation in exceptional circumstances.

Overall, the order reflects a firm administrative approach aimed at efficient use of municipal assets, though limited flexibility may pose challenges for financially constrained shopkeepers.
