Q:So I read in the news that there are illegal constructions in areas in Coimbatore that are reserved for parks? Does it affect Coimbatore's real estate? What is the current situation?
Latest Answer: Have you heard about the encroachment at Sowripalayam? The Mint Homes developer had decided to encroach upon 5 crores worth of reserve space. He built a swimming pool and a club house in this area! After the petition was filed more than a year ago by Coimbatore Corporation, finally action has been taken against this builder. There are so many cases like this almost everyday. Now there are plans to form residents association and welfare voluntary organizations to develop reserve sites into parks. Hopefully well planned out development can take place in Coimbatore instead of land creepers, greedily creeping onto reserved sites.
