3 architects blacklisted by HUDA for submitting wrong information for completion certificate

The Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) has blacklisted three architects for forging and submitting wrong information while applying for completion certificate (CC). The move was aimed at checking corruption in granting CC by Huda, which has emerged as one of the major source of corruption in the department. The action was purportedly taken by the Estate officer while checking the files submitted to him by survey branch for approval. It was found that the architects had submitted morphed photographs of the sites showing them complete in all respect while a special team so constituted by the estate office found the same to the contrary on spot inspection. Vivek Kalia, Estate officer-II of Huda said, “Inquiry has been marked into the matter and will call for explanation of the concerned officials of the survey branch and necessary departmental action along with criminal proceedings shall be initiated post an enquiry.”
