Visit Report
The site was visited by the undersigned on 12.01.2026. During the visit, it was observed as under:
1. The project proponent has established an RMC (Ready Mix Concrete) unit at the site; however, the unit is not yet operational.
2. One laboratory and a cement storage facility are located near the RMC unit.
3. One tubewell has been installed at the site for water consumption purposes.
4. The site boundary is adjoining the Gillco project area.
5. The RMC unit is a temporary structure and will be utilized solely for the development of M/s Gillco Meraqui at Village Ballomajra, District S.A.S. Nagar.As per the land use classification, the site falls under mixed land use-1 which is allowed for cement, sand and concrete mixing plant as per the zoning regulations of master plan. However, at the time of visit, it was found that residential area, i.e., flats of Gillco falls within 100 meters radius of the site at around 90-95 mtr.
Recommendations
Further, it is pertinent to mention here that the industry is required to maintain atleast 100 mtr distance from the nearest residential area. However, the site is suitable as per the master plan but not complying with general siting guidelines. Further, there are no such specific guidelines for in-house ready mix plant being a temporary structure.
Also, this office has already sent separate noting on e-office no. 347133 in another matter for deciding the policy/stand for decision in such matter. As such, in view of the above, this office may be guided how to proceed in such cases where the builder intends/apply for obtaining NOC/consent for in-house ready mix plant within its premises.
