Public Notification

The Gelephu Municipal Corporation (GMC) in consultation with the Department of Urban Development and Engineering Services, MoWHS and the plot owners and the agencies concerned has prepared a Structure Plan for Gelephu Municipality. Further, to facilitate the realization of the provisions of the Structure Plan, the GMC has initiated the preparation of the detailed plans (LAP) for the core area and the Match Factory area. However, a number of transactions have taken place since the land ownership records were last obtained and the plans prepared could not be implemented. Therefore, the land records and data have to be updated to revise and finalize the plan.

Due to the expanse of the LAP area and the number of plot owners, the data update and plan revision have been phased. Phase 1 will begin with the LAP 1 (Core Area) which has been further subdivided into smaller blocks and each block assigned a date for documents and ground verification. Information on block subdivisions and the dates for data verification are available at the Gelephu Municipal Corporation Office, Dzongkhag Administration, Sarpang and Office of Urban Planning and Development Division, DUDES, Thimphu and will be on display till March 16, 2007.

Each individual record will be verified against the registration maintained by the Survey of Bhutan or the GMC. Plot owners who have obtained lagthram/ land ownership certificate as of December 31, 2006 are requested to report along with relevant documents at 9:00am in their respective blocks as per the dates scheduled. If any plot owner has plot/s in other blocks as well, he/she should bring along the documents for those plot/s while reporting for the block scheduled earliest and appraise the Planning Team of the same. Please be informed that this is the final verification call and the Municipality will not be responsible if any land owner/s fails to report.
