We congratulate you Mr. Chief Minister, on your very basic idea of smart cities and your dream to take Hyderabad to the global standards and making Hyderabad a smart city, the name to reckon with global standards. Mr. Chief Minister, for taking Hyderabad to the global standards , does the democratic executive has the will and spine for this radical conversion of a huge city with many problematic issues, to be a city with global standards? Its elating for us when the government announces facilities like free Wi-Fi and a fully technological based governance. However, we can't ignore the fact that many parts of Hyderabad still stink with garbage, bad to worst maintenance of roads, illegal occupied pavements, dismissal traffic management and many other civic problems. It's impossible for a commuter to ride his vehicle with comfort and peace and expect normal treatment leave alone global standards. One can't walk even half a mile without wrinkling the nose and getting stuck in the traffic leading to mental frustrations and physical stress. Has the executive braced itself to execute a dynamic strategy to overcome all such hurdles and challenges? Is the government ready to tackle the issues faced by the public and to take a firm stand against all irregularities? Mr. Chief Minister, you have successfully erased the sense of bleakness which had covered the state like a dark shadow since the several past months. The new initiatives you have announced have brought a cheer among the investors and the real estate sector. A wave of euphoria has washed over the populace with forming of a new government. However, now the time has arrived to implement the strategies and execute the plans which have been announced. Now, its time to walk the talk. Not only the nation, but the whole world is watching as every eye is focused on the state of Telangana as to how will you lead the state to prosperity and development. We hope that not only you meet the people's hopes but that you exceed them, so that the dream of 'Brand Telangana' encrusted with the jewel of a Global Standard Hyderabad comes true.

Ready to clear any investment proposal in 2-3 weeks: KCR
I
n what appears to be a confirmation for the much talked and demanded about 'single window system' to get the approval in investments, Telangana CM K Chandrashekara Rao has announced that he will personally clear any investment proposal within 2-3 weeks. Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the second phase of Tishman Speyer's IT Park WaveRock, Mr. Rao said that investors won't have to 'roam around the city for approval'. Stating that
investors will be welcomed by government officials at the airport, he said that government officials will welcome the investor and bring him directly to the chief minister. The government will give him all approvals in two to three weeks after which the investor can get his work started. “It's our vision to make Hyderabad and Telangana globally recognized and acclaimed. Very soon we will announce our new industrial policy. We will have no tolerance for malpractice and corruption.” The chief minister said. Lauding Tishman Speyer for recognizing Hyderabad's potential, The minister said that it was a clear indication of a bright future of the region. “Hyderabad is the premier IT destination. It will be turned into a world class smart city which will offer competition on a global level.” The minister emphasised. State IT minister K Tarakarma Rao also
spoke on the occasion and assured that political stability, both in centre & the state and the slowing of the global economic dropdown will result in increased investments, especially in the IT sector. It may be noted that since several years, the real estate developers and builders are demanding a single window system to get legal approvals for their projects. It is widely known that the prolonged process in taking government approvals and their increased numbers has always been a problem for the real estate industry as it seriously hinders the swift implementation of projects. Minister Chandrashekar Rao's statement is nothing short of a boon for the real estate industry as it will benefit heavily from the investments of future investors who are turning back to Hyderabad after the return of political stability.
Bill to regulate real estate sector to be passed by govt
T
he union minister for Urban Development and Parliamentary affairs M. Venkaiah Naidu has announced that the centre is going to introduce a new bill to regulate the real estate sector and to reduce the irregularities by the dishonest builders who are escaping legal prosecution due to the absence of specific laws. Addressing press persons on Sunday, 4th August 2014, the minister stated that it has become common for some irresponsible builders to promise facilities while building township projects and private layouts only to dupe the buyers by leaving the promised facilities just a dream. Mr. Naidu also added that the ministry was in consultation with the CREDAI and other such organizations. The builders, however maintained that 16

the issue of delay in getting approvals for their projects, remained unsolved, resulting in serious problems or them. Responding to this, Minister Venkaiah Naidu said that the government was working on simplifying the procedure of getting approvals by speeding up the process by introducing online clearance to a certain level. The minister also emphasised that officials of Local Urban Bodies should keep an eye out for illegal constructions by conducting field visits in their respective jurisdictions and take necessary steps to avoid such irregularities. Since several years, there have been strong pleas to government by the real estate developers as well as the public to introduce clear and strong laws to regulate the sector. The existing laws,
according to many experts, are unclear and less defined which makes it easy for unscrupulous builders to find loopholes and escape prosecution. The long procedure of getting approvals for starting construction projects has also been heavily criticised in the past for delaying and denting the whole real estate activity. Even though the previous government had introduced the bill in the parliament, it was not passed. The introduction of this bill which can effectively regulate the real estate sector, combined by the speeding up of the approval-getting process is bound to have a positive impact on the country's real estate business by reducing the usual irregularities and encouraging professionalism in the sector.

Luxury brands witnessing difficulty in finding good locations for new establishments
T
he lack of suitable land on reasonable rates is restricting luxury brands like Italian suit maker Kiton and British shoemaker John Lobb from building more swanky stores in the country. "Rentals in India are as high as international markets, but the demand is not as much," said Pratik Dalmia, founder of Mumbai-based Regalia Luxury, which has the rights to market and sell Kiton and John Lobb brands in India. Steep rentals and lack of quality retail real estate at strategic locations near high-income neighbourhoods are making it hard for luxury brands to expand their business in the country in a viable manner, forcing many players to tweak their business plans and go slow. Indian metros emerged among the lowest in a recent study on luxury retail penetration in top Asia Pacific cities. Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore rank at 25, 25 and 27, respectively, according to property consultant JLL's recent report which tracked the presence and expansion patterns of 100 top international luxury and mid-tier retailers in 30 major Asia Pacific cities. "Though rents for baseline retail
properties in India are generally affordable, prime retail assets command premium rentals across Indian cities when compared to other cities in the Asia Pacific region," said Ashutosh Limaye, research and real estate intelligence service head at JLL India. "Given that the size of consumer spending in Indian cities is still on the threshold of growth when seen in the Asia Pacific context, the breakeven period for retailers here is discouragingly high," he added. Even established players like Reliance Brands, which operates a large number of stores for a clutch of big luxury brands such as Zegna and Brooks Brothers, find it challenging to justify investments. "Irrespective of the financial strength of a company, profitability is the focus. And rentals in India affect profits," Darshan Mehta, CEO at Reliance Brands, said. He said the handful of malls charge anywhere between Rs 300 and Rs 1,000 per square feet per month and on top of that around .`50 per square feet for maintenance. Then, there is 12% service tax, Mehta pointed out. Mall operators defend their pricing, saying they are
currently investing in building the right ecosystem for luxury business to flourish in an emerging market like India. We have to constantly invest in building a destination for luxury consumption and drive footfall for the brands. And that requires money," says Dinaz Madhukar, president of DLF Emporio luxury mall in Delhi. While retailers wait for the scenario to change in their favour, they have figured out alternatives. Mehta of Reliance Brands said he has launched at least four international fashion brands online by exclusively tying up with portals like Flipkart and Jabong. As of now, a total of 70.7 million sq ft of retail space is ready and operational in top seven cities of the country. Out of this 25 million sq ft is grade A and it is completely taken up with zero vacancy, while the vacancy level for total retail real estate space is 12%. Although no sharp reduction in rentals is expected, the price gap between prime and affordable assets may reduce as 3.9 million square feet of retail space is getting added by the end of 2014 and 8.4 million sq ft by 2015 end.
Real estate sector welcomes SEBI's nod for setting up REITs
T
he real estate sector in the whole country has welcomed the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (Sebi) mod to set up real estate investment trusts (REITs). It will fund builders constructing commercial properties. "REITs being given a go ahead by Sebi
will enhance the depth of the country's commercial market which will offer financing as well as exit options to developers and investors. The approval couldn't have come at a better time keeping in mind the prevailing paucity of funds coupled with an economy that is on the verge of reaching the takeoff stage," said Shishir Baijal, Chairman & Managing Director, Knight Frank India. Added Sachin Sandhir, MD, RICS South Asia: '' The move by Sebi to issue guidelines for REITs is laudable as this would bring in positive sentiments and clear confusion in cash strapped real estate sector. REITs specifically will prove to be an effective tool for enhancing investments into the commercial real estate. REITs only look at completed, income generating projects, so risks are minimum for investors."
Anshuman Magazine, Chairman & MD, CBRE South Asia, said, "This move is a positive signal for India's capital markets as a whole, and the realty sector in particular. Reducing the minimum requirement for commercial real estate asset sizes permitted to be listed in India REITs from Rs.1,000 crore to Rs.500 crore is likely to generate more income through this new funding channel and encourage many mid-sized development firms to consider this avenue.'' The new budget has brought a wave of cheer among the real estate developers and builders as the government has relaxed several norms which were considered to be restricting the growth of the national real estate sector.

APREDA and Credai are seeking a correction between the prices of Hyderabad and other metros like Chennai and Bengaluru where the property prices are much higher despite similar infrastructure facilities like airport , ORR etc. According to Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (Credai), the real estate market has seen a growth by 10 per cent in last three months, owing to restoration of political certainty in the city. Mr C. Shekar Reddy, national president, Credai said, “The property prices in the city was at the bottom over the past few years, but in the last three months, an increase was witnessed and we expect the prices to go up in the next six - eight months.� This will happen due to the increase in input costs, taxation and inflation,
he added. There has to be some correction between Hyderabad and neighboring metro cities like Chennai and Bengaluru and when this correction takes place, the prices will go up, he said. The Credai chief opined that with world-class infrastructure like international airport, Outer Ring Road and Metro, Hyderabad was in the forefront to emerge as a global city. The Credai chief also referred to the plans of the TRS government to improve Brand Hyderabad, prepare a new Master Plan, to develop the Information Technology and Investment Region (ITIR), satellite townships and special clusters. The real estate market had suffered hugely due to the political instability. However, now with a stable government, the real estate sector is catching back.

the hopes of 24 hour running water, continued power supply and good housing. After nearly 7 decades of an independent government rule, the dreams of Indian should have involved bullet trains, rising economy and an advanced technology. But these things still remain a fantasy for a common Indian. Rise in City Population and Rapid Urbanization: The lure of more job opportunities and better employment has always been a main reason for many of the people residing in rural areas to migrate to cities. Sometimes alone, sometimes with their
families. As expected, this has increased the urban population in our country on a huge scale. According to a study conducted by McKinsey Global Institute, by the year 2030, 70% of jobs and employment opportunities will be generated by cities. The study also said that Indian cities will generate 70% of the nation's gross domestic product and will raise the country's per capita income fourfold. Increased urban population will mean more power consumption and complexity in city management. It means that the government will have tough job in managing everything from law and order,

public health and safety; to electrical power, waste management and transportation. Smart Cities: The Solution All these conclusions make it clear that India should prepare itself to manage this rapid rise in urban population resourcefully and ensure that the impact of this phenomenon is utilized for the nation's prosperity and growth. The answer to this is: Smart Cities. What are Smart Cities? The word 'Smart Cities' has reverberated in our ears many times since Narendra
Modi took charge as the Prime Minister of India. The idea of building smart cities in India has been voiced since a considerable time and the word is not new for atleast the intellectual Indians. However, many people still dont exactly know what is meant by a smart city. In general and easily understandable words, a smart city is a city which is technologically advanced, environmentally green and whose each operation is carefully planned. It is a city which is managed by leveraging data of every sector (traffic, energy, health, safety) through technology in a single command
and managing the city based on the data with the help of technological means to ensure minimum energy consumption and maximum progress. According to the Smart Cities Council, an industry-backed organization which advocates the concept of smart cities in India, all the data that is collected from sensors – electricity, gas, water, traffic and other government analytics – is carefully compiled and integrated into a smart grid and then fed into computers that can focus on making the city as efficient as possible. This will enable the authorities to have real-time information about the city Twin Cities

COVER STORY around them, allowing computers to carry out “perfect operations”, such as balancing supply and demand on electricity networks, synchronizing traffic signals for peak usage, and optimizing energy networks. The main parameters of a Smart City are: Built environment, Economic development, Energy, Health and Human services, Payments, Public safety and security, Telecommunications, Transportation and Water & waste-water management. A city can be defined as 'smart' when investments in human and social capital and traditional (transport) and modern (ICT) communication infrastructure fuel sustainable economic development and a high quality of life, with a wise management of natural resources, through participatory action and engagement. (Caragliu et al. 2009). To Gildo Seisdedos Domínguez, the smart city concept essentially means efficiency. But efficiency based on the intelligent management and integrated ICTs, and active citizen participation. Then implies a new kind of governance, genuine citizen involvement in public policy. Smart cities can be identified (and ranked) along six main axes or dimensions: These six axes connect with traditional regional and neoclassical theories of urban growth and development. In particular, the axes are based - respectively - on theories of regional competitiveness, transport and ICT economics, natural resources, human and social capital, quality of life, and participation of citizens in the governance of cities. It insists that smart cities are defined by their innovation and their ability to solve problems and use of ICTs to improve this capacity. The intelligence lies in the ability to solve problems of these communities is linked to technology transfer for when a problem is solved. In this sense, intelligence is an inner quality of any territory, any place, city or region where 24

innovation processes are facilitated by information and communication technologies. What varies is the degree of intelligence, depending on the person, the system of cooperation, and digital infrastructure and tools that a community offers its residents. City leaders all over the world have embraced the smart city concept with enthusiasm. They are heralding innovative projects and laying out a vision for how cities can use technology to meet sustainability goals, boost local economies, and improve services. This commitment to
changing how cities operate is driving the continued interest in smart cities. Moreover, the smart city concept is evolving as more cities set out their own agenda and a growing range of suppliers deliver solutions to meet their emerging needs. Smart city technologies are being developed to address a range of issues, including energy management, water management, urban mobility, street lighting, and public safety, for example. These innovations are underpinned by
general developments in areas such as wireless communications, sensor networks, data analytics, and cloud computing. The smart city concept is also driving new integrated approaches to city operations. Examples of Smart Cities The concept of smart cities can be more easily understood by some exemplary smart cities around the world. According to Fast Company, a famous business magazine, the top smart cities in the world are: Copenhagen (Denmark), Amsterdam (Netherland), Vienna (Austria), Barcelona (Spain), Paris (France), Stockholm (Sweden), London (England), Hamburg (Germany), Berlin (Germany) and Helsinki (Finland) Improving or safeguarding the environment is one of the main aims of a smart city. Copenhagen has one of the lowest carbon footprints/capita in the world (less than two tons/capita). Traffic reduction and management is also a key element in a smart city. In Amsterdam, 67% of all trips are done by cycling or walking. In fact, on a daily basis there are 10,000 bikes parked anywhere a space can be found adjacent to the central train station. Paris is also famous for their expansive and widely used bikesharing network, Vélib'. Currently, the system has more than 20,000 bikes and 1,800 bikes throughout the city which has led to a 5% reduction in vehicle congestion. Apart from these, there are many more smart cities in the world either under development or already developed. One such example is the Masdar city in Abu Dhabi which promises 100% power generation from solar energy. These examples clearly explain the concept of smart cities outlining their various parameters. The Indian Strategy for Smart Cities: Presenting the union budget earlier this year, finance minister Arun Jaitley had said "The Prime Minister has a vision of developing 100 smart cities as satellite towns of larger cities and by modernising the existing mid-sized cities. With development reaching an increasingly
COVER STORY large number of people, the pace of migration from the rural areas to the cities is increasing." The new cities should be developed to accommodate the burgeoning number of people, otherwise, the existing cities would soon become unliveable, he added. "To encourage development of smart cities, requirement of the built-up area and capital conditions for FDI is being reduced from 50,000 square metres to 20,000 square metres and from USD 10 million to
USD 5 million, respectively with a three year post completion lock in," the Minister had added. The cities with ongoing or proposed smart cities include Kochi in Kerala, Ahmedabad in Gujarat, Aurangabad in Maharashtra, Manesar in Delhi NCR, Khushkera in Rajasthan, Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, Ponneri in Tamil Nadu and Tumkur in Karnataka. Many of these cities will include special investment regions or special economic zones with modified regulations and tax structures to make it attractive for foreign investment.
This is essential because much of the funding for these projects will have to come from private developers and from abroad. With several revised laws and rules for the real estate in India, the above plans of the government will also prove to be a huge boon for the real estate developers as well as the builders. Because, the building of smart cities will require the expertise of builders and more importantly, the foresight of real estate developers.
The concept is not without challenges, especially in India. For instance, the success of such a city depends on residents, entrepreneurs and visitors becoming actively involved in energy saving and implementation of new technologies. There are many ways to make residential, commercial and public spaces sustainable by ways of technology, but a high percentage of the total energy use is still in the hands of end users and their behaviour. Also, there is the time factor — such cities can potentially take anything between 20 and 30 years to build.
However, it should also be remembered that every smart city has two more main enablers apart from the main enabler which is technology. The other two important enablers are: the dwellers of the city and the administration. Even with all the technology a smart city gets, its the citizens and the administration who are at the centre of the smart city. According to Vienna University of Technology: “A city well performing in a forward looking way in economy, people, governance, mobility, environment and living, built on the smart combination of endowments and activities of self-decisive, independent and aware citizens.� This description puts intelligent and enlightened people at the heart of the vision. It does not restrict itself to the focus on its digital and connected infrastructure, which by the way is very important. So, a smart city is built by these three enablers on the following six pillars: Smart governance, Smart inhabitants, Smart mobility and transport, Smart living and housing, Smart environment and smart economy. If we want smart cities, we should ensure that all the six pillars are strong enough to bear the weight of the dreamed smart city.

Real Estate Sector & Legal Issues With the increasing opportunities in the real estate sector, many heads are turning towards it in order to benefit from its escalating market. However, like other sectors, there are many hurdles which are bound to make those fall who move too fast beyond the line of caution. Many of those who fail in this sector, fail because of lack of legal knowledge. Its essential for a real estate developer, a buyer or a builder to have the basic knowledge about the usual legal issues faced by the people of this sector. The difference between Leasehold and Freehold Property In order to understand the nature of property, one must first distinguish between a leasehold and a freehold property. Leasehold properties whether a plot or built up are those properties whose perpetual lease has been granted by the title paramount in favour of the Lessee. In this case, the title paramount i.e. President of India acts through the Land & Development Authority to grant
the perpetual lease. Annual lease charges are required to be paid to the Land & Development Authority (Lessor). Leasehold properties are not freely transferable. Depending upon the covenants of the Lease Deed, prior permission of the lessor i.e. Land & Development Authority is required to transfer the property. On the contrary, freehold properties are those where the title paramount has conveyed the property in favour of the purchaser by execution of conveyance/sale deed. This has no restrictions on the right of the holder to further transfer the property. But every time, the property is transferred, stamp duty is payable on the registration of the sale deed. The record of ownership of the freehold property can be ascertained from the Office of the SubRegistrar of Assurances. A freehold property has better marketability as it can be sold, mortgaged or can be kept as security, which is difficult in the case of leasehold property.
Usually, the point where investors fear while buying a property is the reliability of title i.e., the right of ownership in a property. Here, we will discuss various issues which affect the real estate sector in such cases. More importantly, Legal issues will also be discussed which are to be kept in mind by the investors / end users before entering into a contract for purchase of land, residential apartment or any commercial property. A title means legal ownership, right of possession and interest in the property. Title due diligence means verifying the title to the property, ensuring that the same is unencumbered and is not fraught with litigations or fake/improper documentation. It is prudent to purchase the property only after proper title due diligence since the legal proceedings in India are usually slow and the disputes over title could even deprive the buyer from using the Twin Cities

ith daily comings and g o i n g s , w e d o n' t always pay attention to home security. Keeping your home secure is essential for your own safety and peace of mind. Good security can also be a priority for potential buyers. Many of us worry about break-ins and burglaries. Not only is there the risk of financial loss and disruption, having someone invade your property can be very emotionally traumatic. O n e o f t h e key t h i n g s to remember is that most burglaries are carried out by opportunistic thieves. Around 20% of all burglaries do not even involve the use of force; thieves enter freely through open doors or windows. two-thirds of home burglaries happen during daytime hours, But it only makes sense that burglars wait for the times residents are away from home. Most burglaries are crimes of opportunity, they wait for an opportunity — an unlocked door, an open window. Most probably burglars are going to pick the easiest house. In considering home security, try to look at your property through a burglar's eyes. Could they break in without being seen? Do the doors and windows look secure? Can they see things worth stealing? Could they get in and out quickly and quietly? There's no way to guarantee you won't be a victim, there are ways to minimize your risk. Twin Cities

HOME STYLE GYAN Here are 10 ways to secure your home Think like a burglar. Pretend to be a burglar yourself, and try to think of ways to break into your own home. Study your home and observe any weaknesses in its security. Lock your doors. The world is different now. Don`t believe anyone blindly in your area. Make sure you lock all your doors properly when leaving the house and specially at night time. Even when doors are locked, entry is sometimes forced by kicking the door. External wooden doors should be at least 44mm thick. Make sure you have good solid locks on all external doors. Don`t keep extra keys anywhere near the door/window for your family members. Keep your keys with you only or give keys to person, whom you believe a lot. Most modern patio doors come with a multi locking system. If your patio doors are not secure, get specialist advice to make sure suitable locks are fitted at the top and bottom. And if you are living in your home, best to fit a door viewer or 'spy hole' will allow you to identify callers before opening the door and to keep a door chain so you can speak to strangers with the door partially locked.
ŸClean your environment
Lock the windows. Mostly burglers try to get in through a window, so it`s definitely worth checking they are secure. Don't be fooled into thinking that small windows don't matter; skilled burglars can get through windows also. Ground level windows and sliding doors are easy to open from the outside. A slightly more motivated thief will check it and try to get in. So better to lock all windows even they are small. Pay particular attention to downstairs windows, which can't be seen from the street and any easy to reach upstairs windows. When replacing windows, consider using laminated glass for extra security. Double glazing is a must. Lock the balcony door. Never leave the balcony door unlocked at night or when going out. Balconies could provide easy access to burglars. Here are main tips to follow for your home security: ŸLock garage doors. ŸMaintain new locks for your new home. ŸChange your lock if you ever lose your key. ŸLeave the lights, TV, and stereo on. ŸDon't leave notes on the door.
ŸClose drapes. ŸReport strange things to the police. ŸInstall security lighting to your yard. ŸGet an alarm system. ŸTrim plants/ small trees below the
level of windows. ŸGet a dog. ŸGet safety bars on windows.
Home security systems are used by homeowners to make sure their homes are well-protected from theft, burglars, fires and other disasters. Many people decide which type of home security system to purchase depending upon the neighbourhood in which they live, how much security they want and how much they are willing to pay for the security. If you're looking to secure your home and family with a home security system, you've probably noticed that there are many options on the market these days. It can be a little confusing sorting through all of these options. The types of security systems available for installation fall under local alarm system, unmonitored and monitored home security systems. Local alarm systems are the most basic form of home security. These traditional unmonitored systems have various sensors positioned around your house, and set off a loud alarm if they sense an intruder. You can hook up sensors to doors and windows and add more advanced options like motion detectors. While a loud alarm can scare off potential thieves and alert neighbors, these systems offer less protection than a monitored system. Think of them like a smoke alarm system; they make a lot of noise, but don't do much good if no one is around to hear them. The upside of these systems is that they are the most affordable option.
The unmonitored home security system is the most popular and costeffective system on the market today. When the alarm is triggered by a burglar, it produces a loud siren noise on the inside and outside of the home. A majority of the time the siren will scare off the intruder before he even enters the home. If you aren't home when the alarm is tripped, it will be up to your neighbours to call the police, as this type of system doesn't contact the monitoring company for you. Monitored alarm systems are similar to local alarm systems, but in addition to 32

You can also get apps for your mobile devices with some of these services, so you're constantly in the loop about the status of your home while you are away. Another bonus is that your homeowner's insurance premiums may be reduced by up to 20% when you have a monitored alarm system installed. Check with your insurance company today to see how much of a discount they offer. These monitored alarm systems offer the most protection available for your home, but that coverage does come at a cost, as you have to pay a small monthly fee for monitoring (rather than a large one charge for non-monitored equipment). The upside, besides the peace of mind that comes with monitoring, is that while you pay for the monitoring service often times you will get the equipment and installation for free when you sign up for service. The biggest advantage to this type of system is you don't have to depend on your neighbours to be home to contact the authorities for you, but the 30 to 45 second delay allows burglars ample time to escape with your valuables. Both the monitored and unmonitored systems can be set up with cameras, motion detectors, sensors, smoke, fire and carbon monoxide detectors, keypads and video displays. These setups can be hard wired or wireless. Wireless home security systems are, by far, the easiest to set up, as you don't have to install new wires in the walls of your homes. Another advantage to the wireless home security system is that it can be installed by the average do-ityourself homeowner, as the system is only connected by battery-powered radio transmitters and receivers. The downside to these types of home security systems is that you are limited in the distance allowed between the sensors, cameras and control panel due to the radio transmitters.
Types of Security System Equipment If you're looking to buy a home security system, you need to know everything about the types of equipment that can be added to it. Adding sensors and home automation devices can greatly enhance the safety of your home security system. Our security experts recommend that you ask the sales person for any company about the devices listed below. Standard Security System Equipment The top home security companies use the latest home security equipment. Before you can decide which security system set up is right for you it's best to learn about each piece of security system equipment, how it works and why it's important. Security System Control Panel The security system Control Panel is the most important part of your home security system. It is the “brain” or “hub” of your system and communicates with the monitoring station by hooking up to your phone line, Internet connection or a built in cellular device. Many modern Control Panels contain the main keypad and siren. Popular Control Panels include the GE Simon XT and 2Gig Go! Control. Security System Keypad (Touchpad & Touchscreen) A security system keypad or touchscreen is used to control your security system settings, arm and disarm your system and manage home automation devices while at home.
Multiple keypads can be used throughout a home including the bedroom, garage or by the front door. A keypad can be built in to the Control Panel or used separately. Alarm Siren The siren sounds when your security system is triggered. It is intended to scare off potential intruders. Some alarm sirens are built in to the Control Panel while others may be installed elsewhere in the home like the attic. Common sirens range in decibel level from about 85db-120db. Keychain Remote A security system keychain remote is an accessory device that allows you to arm/disarm your security system from a small remote on your keychain. It can also be used to set off a panic alert or to turn lights on or off. The keychain can normally be used within 50-100 feet of the home. Panic/Medical Alert Pendant Panic buttons can be programmed to trigger a burglar alarm or alert medical authorities. They are used in emergency situations and will automatically notify your control panel to contact the police or medical personnel and may also trigger your siren.

Entry Detection Sensors Sensors that detect unwanted entry are the foundation of a good security system, but there have been some changes in the technology that can greatly enhance your safety. Every security system should come with some basic sensors, but you should take a look at what you could add for extra security. Door Sensor The door sensor is placed on your entry doors to detect an intrusion. There are two pieces to a door sensor. One piece of the sensor is placed on your door and the other on your doorframe. When a door is opened the door sensor triggers the Control Panel to sound the alarm. Window Sensor A window sensor is the same sensor as a door sensor, yet is placed on your window. One piece goes on your window and the other on the window frame. Window sensors are used to detect the opening of a window. Recessed Door Sensor A recessed door sensor is similar to a standard door sensor. A recessed sensor is actually drilled in to your door and doorframe. It may be used for aesthetic reasons or if your doorframe is not flush with your door; for instance if you have molding on the doorframe. Recessed Window Sensor A recessed window sensor is similar to a standard window sensor. A recessed window sensor is drilled in to the window and window frame. It may be used for aesthetic reasons of if a standard window sensor cannot be used. Motion Sensor (Indoor & Outdoor) Motion Sensors are used to detect movement inside the home. Motion Sensor can cover an area of about 1,000 sq. ft. and are used to cover large areas with a small amount of sensors; for instance if a room has a lot of windows. Glass Break Sensor The Glass Break Sensor detects when a window is broken. It triggers from the sound of breaking glass and is used to 34

cover large glass windows or an area with an abundance of windows. Shock/Vibration Sensor Shock sensors are less common but are used to detect the vibration in a window. Garage Door Sensor The Garage Door Sensor has a simple job. It is used to alert you when your garage door is opened. Most Garage Door Sensors are not programmed to sound an alarm, only to notify the homeowner. However, Garage Door Sensors can be programmed to trigger an alarm if requested. Threat Detection Sensors Not all the things that threaten your home or family involve someone trying to break into your home. The threat of fire, CO2, and freezing, can cause many problems. Luckily, most home security systems have additional sensors that can be added to help keep an eye on these kinds of threats. Smoke Sensor Smoke Sensors are used to detect smoke in the home from a possible fire. The Smoke Sensor triggers the alarm and sends an alert to the Control Panel to contact the fire department automatically. Smoke Sensors are best used near bedrooms and are often combined with Heat Sensors. Heat Sensor A Heat Sensor will detect the rapid rise in heat in your home. If the temperature in your home changes drastically from a fire the Heat Sensor will trigger and an alert is sent to the fire department. A Heat Sensor can be combined with a Smoke Sensor or used on its own. Common uses for a Heat Sensor are in humid or dusty areas. CO2 Sensor A CO2 Sensor is used to detect C02 gas in the home from a possible gas leak. This environmental sensor triggers an alert to monitoring center to contact the proper authorities. Flood Sensor The Flood Sensor is used to detect standing water in the home. There are two parts to the Flood Sensor. One piece goes on the floor and the other a few inches higher on the wall. The piece on the floor is the “sensor” and the piece on the wall the “communicator”.
Security System Cameras Security cameras can be added and greatly improve the functionality of your home security system. Cameras were once expensive and hard to install, but new technology and installation methods have changed the game. Now you can easily add and install your own cameras to increase your safety and have the ability to keep a close eye on the safety of your loved ones. Indoor Wireless Camera The Indoor Wireless Security Camera is used to personally monitor your home through video. Indoor Wireless Cameras connect to your wireless Internet and can be viewed online or on your smartphone while away from the home. You can use the camera to view live video or recordings. Outdoor Wireless Camera An Outdoor Camera is used for surveillance of the outside of your home. Outdoor Cameras are normally wired to your router using a standard Ethernet cable. The Outdoor Camera can also use your router's power supply and does not need a plug. Image Sensor Image Sensors are newer security system devices that have a built in lens to take a picture when movement is detected. This can be used to capture images of a possible intruder. Home Automation Equipment Home automation and applications that transform security systems into energy saving systems are quickly becoming popular amongst home owners. You can now add simple devices that transform the way you manage your home's appliances, security system, and thermostats. These devices offer the capability to remotely manage your home and security system. Mobile Application Mobile Applications for the iPhone, BlackBerry & Android are provided for free with Interactive Monitoring from your home security company. Using your Mobile Application you can receive instant alerts, arm/disarm your system, manage home automation devices and view streaming or recorded video.

Although some companies will help relocate their equipment if you move, you'll be sure to keep your system if you own it outright. 3. Do you want mobile access? If you want total control over your home, mobile access is a must. Most security systems let you arm and disarm your system from a key fob, smart phone, or web-enabled device, but some companies also offer the ability to control lighting and thermostat settings via mobile access.
lights remotely. The Light Module usually plugs in to the wall outlet with a separate plug for your lamp. One Light Module is needed for each lamp. Remote/Automatic Door Locks Automatic Door Locks are home automation devices that replace your standard door locks. They are used to automatically lock or unlock your door from your smart phone, keypad or remote. Remote Thermostat A Remote Thermostat, or “Smart” Thermostat replaces your standard home thermostat and is used to control temperature at the home and remotely. The thermostat can be controlled from a keypad or remotely online or through you Mobile Application. HOME AUTOMATION Control your home from your phone Home automation is futuristic. It lets you can control your home remotely from a smart phone or web-enabled device, and energy management solutions in addition to security protection. With home automation, you can remotely arm and disarm your system and control your lighting, thermostat, and small appliances. You can even remotely view pre-recorded or live video surveillance, making it feel like you never left home. Each security system offers varying levels of home automation and control, so decide what
you need to control remotely, then select a company and package that meet your needs. How to Determine Which System is Right for You 1. Are you a renter or a homeowner? If you're a renter, you should probably choose a wireless system that you can install yourself so you own the equipment and can easily move it from one location to the next. If you're a homeowner, you can install pretty much any security system you want, depending on your needs and budget. However, because you own your home, you might want to look into a landline system with a cell uplink backup, covering all eventualities and delivering total protection. 2. Do you plan to move in the next one to three years? If you move often, then you will want to pay closer attention to the alarm company's contract and whether you'll own the equipment or not. Companies that require a long-term contract, for example, may not work for your lifestyle. However, many companies offer moving programs that will allow you to transfer your service and equipment for free. Moving programs often require that you've been a customer for a certain amount of time, and sometimes they do not guarantee that all of your equipment will be
Here is a list of actions that are generally included in most home automation systems: ŸArm and disarm your system ŸLock and unlock doors ŸMonitor water and flood sensors ŸReceive security alerts ŸSee which windows and doors are open ŸAccess a complete history of your system's events ŸGet real-time notifications ŸView live video via security cameras ŸAdjust lights and thermostat ŸSet custom notifications ŸGet notified via text, email, and video alerts when your children come home from school or when the housekeeper arrives and leaves. ŸGet notified if select locations like your medicine cabinet, liquor cabinet, or garage door have been opened 4. Do you want or need security cameras? Aside from catching an intruder in the act, there are quite a few instances where you might want security cameras. They come in handy when you're at home and when you're away. When you're at home, you can keep an eye on family members in other rooms or see who is at the front door from the couch. When you're away, know what's going on at home, see who set off the alarm, keep an eye on the babysitter, know when the kids get home from school, and watch the maintenance workers. The benefits of security cameras extend far beyond preventing intrusion. Decide if a security camera is something you're interested in and then check out the options available with each company. Some systems do not offer security cameras or video monitoring. Twin Cities

Steps to take buying a Home Security System Home security systems are designed to protect you, your home, and your valuables. They vary in price and sophistication. Some systems not only can warn you of intruders, but also can notify authorities of a medical emergency, monitor smoke and carbon monoxide and water levels or pressures, and include video surveillance. Some systems also are linked into your home's wiring, heating or lighting systems and use your mobile phone or computer to control them. Most home security alarm installers can provide all-inclusive services that include equipment plus the installation and monitoring service. If you're thinking about buying a home security system, please take below steps: ŸGet references from your friends, family, neighbours, co-workers and from the company's current clients. Find out whether the equipment was installed within the given time frame. Were any equipment problems dealt with promptly? Was the system explained to everyone living in the home? If there was an intrusion, were the police contacted immediately? ŸCheck out the companies by entering their names in a search engine online. 36

Landlord-Tenant Issues Rising prices of commodities and increasing inflation has adversely affected the life of a common man in India. The yearning for a better livelihood and the urgency to provide for the needs of one's family usually makes a person take endeavours
outside his native place in search of employment or to enhance his chances for better employment by pursuing higher studies. Buying a property or building one is completely out of question for many of such people, leaving them with the only option of
living in a rented house. Although renting a house is a good enough solution, the issues accompanying it make it a complex and rather difficult undertaking. Both landlords and the tenants have their own concerns when it comes to renting a property. For a tenant, finding a house suitable for him with affordable rent and housing and a reasonable landlord is, as hard as it is for a landlord to find a sensible tenant who won't create problems for him and his property. Here, we have done an analysis about the common issues between landlords and tenants along with solutions which may prove instrumental in solving such problems. As the problems between the landlords and tenants differ when viewed from their respective angles, it's essential to study the issues from both perspectives. Following are some usual problems faced by tenants, ranging from minor to major magnitude. We shall discuss/analyse each problem from the perspective of both the landlord and the tenant. Twin Cities

HUE AND CRY 1. Regulating basic amenities like water beyond the normal limits: This happens in many rented places in India. In many regions, the water tank is shared among the tenants and the switch activating the water pump/motor is situated at the landlord's place, who must be informed if the need arises to refill the tank. Claiming that the tenants are very careless in spending water, often the landlords may regulate the amount of water to be used each day, creating problems for the tenants.
From the Tenant's point of view Water being the most commonly used resource in every household, is bound to be spent in a substantial amount as it's used in nearly every household chore. If water is regulated beyond the normal limit, it will affect the functioning of the whole household and will rob the occupants off their peace.
From the landlord's point of view Many tenants have a habit of spending water in excess amount, especially when they are not liable to pay for it. If water is not regulated, the tenants will go on spending it in excess resulting in paramount electrical bills and other expenditures for the
Solution: The best solution for this problem is: the tenants should be provided with connections to the government provided water pipelines for which they will have to pay monthly. If, due to some reason, the water pipelines cannot be accessed, the landlord and tenant should agree on a certain amount of water to be spent each day.
2. Damage to property or disregard to requests of repairs: Another problem faced in rental houses is damage or lack of maintenance of the rented property. Many a times, the tenants damage the house walls etc. While in other instances, the landlord turns a deaf ear to the tenants' request to for repairs. From the Tenant's point of view As the landlord is responsible for the repairs of the rented property, the tenant will naturally call him if any repairs are needed. However, many landlords don't pay heed to such requests resulting in annoyance and sometimes serious household problems for the tenant. The tenant is often forced to do the repairs himself after which the landlord quarrels over the material of repairs etc. Sometimes, the required repairs are so huge and costly in nature that a tenant cannot incur them.
From the landlord's point of view A tenant is required to keep the occupied property of the landlord tidy and avoid any damages. However, many people have the habit of treating other's property with less care than they are required to do. In many instances, it is found that tenants cause serious damages to the house as a result of carelessness and neglect. Such damages are usually discovered when the tenants are leaving the house.
Solution: The tenant should ensure that advertently or inadvertently, he doesn't cause any damage to the landlord's property. He should take reasonable care of the property which he is occupying as a tenant. If he causes any serious damage, the landlord has the right o deduct the amount needed for repairs from the tenant's security deposit.
3. Invasion of privacy Another problem usually faced by the tenants is: invasion of privacy by the landlord. Privacy is one of the most basic rights of every tenant. Tenants are entitled to live in their home environment undisturbed and with their privacy being respected.
From the Tenant's point of view
From the landlord's point of view
Many tenants complain that the landlord invades their privacy under the pretext of unannounced inspection, or from the upper floors if the rented place is situated on the ground floor with an open lawn or in any other way. Even if it's unintentional sometimes, it does violate the privacy of the tenant.
If let uninspected periodically, some tenants disfigure or damage the property resulting in loss for the landlord. If there are periodical inspections, the tenant will be careful enough to maintain the rented property as per the norms.
Solution: The landlord should be approached by the tenant and he should be asked to respect the tenant's privacy. Every tenant has the right of privacy and not even the landlord could violate it. If the landlord still does not seem to respect the tenant's privacy even after being asked to do so, the tenant may take steps like screening up his place to protect it from unwanted scrutiny. If the landlord objects, the tenant can go to the authorities. 38

HUE AND CRY 4. Non-provision of basic facilities: A common landlord-tenant issue in India. Many tenants complain that their landlords do not provide basic facilities like garbage disposal cans for them. Common complains also include improper lighting, absence of safety fences or inept daily maintenance of shared facilities etc. Solution: It is the duty of the landlord to provide such facilities as garbage disposal cans, proper lighting of the area and safety fences as required. If he fails to do so, he is compromising the safety of the tenants, in which case the tenants have the right to demand proper facilities. It may be however noted that the landlord has the right to inspect his property by visit the place provided that he gives prior notification to the tenant. However, it's also the responsibility of the landlord to undertake any repairs if required as requested by the tenant. The landlord should not turn a deaf ear to any request of repairs from the tenant. He should inspect the damage and make arrangements to have it permanently repaired. 5. Increase in rent: The landlords sometimes increase the rent on the rented property citing any number of reasons. Although the landlords may cite genuine grounds for the increase, sometimes, the hike will be such that the tenants will feel burdened.
Solution: The laws governing the rents are very much pro-tenant in our country. If there is any unreasonable hike in the rents which was not mentioned in the agreement between the tenant and the landlord, the tenant may approach the court. The court case may be a prolonged one owing to the usual slowness in procedures. However, it may be noted that in 2011, the Supreme Court had drafted a model landlord-tenant agreement promising tenants five years of peaceful stay in the premises if they give rent at market rate and increase it by 10% every three years and pay the property tax for the house.
6. Non payment of rent OR denial of paid rent Undeniably, it is the most common problem from where all the landlord-tenant arguments usually start. Sometimes, either the tenant makes inexplicable delays in paying the rent or the landlord denies that a rent has been paid when it has been done so.
From the Tenant's point of view Although this problem is not as common as the one mentioned above, it still exists and causes troubles for many tenants. Some landlords just deny that the rent has been paid. This denial may be an attempt to evict a tenant on false grounds.
From the landlord's point of view The most frustrating of problems for a landlord is when the tenant does not pay the rent on time. Rent is a source of income for the landlord and it is his right to be paid timely. Delay in payment of rents may even make the landlord serve an eviction notice to the tenant.
Solution: The solution to the problem, from perspectives of both the landlord and the tenant, is: maintaining a proper receipt book and keeping records of all payments. The tenant should ask for a receipt on every payment which can be used as a proof against any false claim of non payment by the landlord. Similarly, well kept records of the payments will strengthen the position of the landlord in case he tries to evict the tenant for non payment of rents. 7. Eviction: The most serious of problems faced by a number of tenants across the country. Eviction relates to the order by the landlord to the tenant to leave the rented property. Tenants are ordered to vacate the rented property, sometimes due to a genuine reason and sometimes without any genuine reason. It should be remembered that a tenant cannot be evicted from the rented property unless and until: a) The specified period in the agreement ends. b) The tenant wilfully fails to pay the rent even after a certain amount of time (which differs from state to state) since the due date of the rent. c) The tenant allows someone else to occupy the home or rented place without the written consent of the landlord. (However, the tenant has the right to have guests.) d) The tenant uses the rented place for some other activity than the one mentioned in the agreement. e) The tenant carries out an act which results in the loss of value of the rented property. f) The tenant uses the building for any purpose which is considered illegal or immoral by the law.

HUE AND CRY a) The neighbourhood residents give a written statement that the tenant's stay is objectionable to them due to his annoying attitude or acts. b) The tenant denies the landlord, the title of ownership for unknown reasons, since a tenant is not allowed to disown the landlord or assert title to the property. A landlord cannot attempt an eviction unless he has a genuine ground to do so. The list of genuine grounds or reasons differs from state to state. However, apart from those reasons, a landlord can ask a tenant to vacate his property on the following reasons too: I. The landlord needs the premises for his own occupation or for his family's occupation. II. If the landlord wants to do repairs of such magnitude that they cannot be done with anyone occupying the premises. III. If the landlord wants to demolish the building. In case of eviction, the landlord must serve a notice to the tenant before 30 days. Solution: If any of the above reasons are not found or if the landlord tries to force the tenant out on false grounds, the tenant can enforce the right of protection against unreasonable eviction by filing a case in the civil court. The rental laws in India, which have been termed as 'pro-tenant' by many experts, will ensure that such eviction is avoided.
8. Squatting: Squatting refers to the act of occupying a premises without the permission of the landlord. In other words, squatting means the continuation of a tenant's stay on the rented property even though the landlord has ordered his eviction. This is also a serious problem among the landlord-tenant problems. It is beyond annoying when a landlord cannot evict a tenant from a building or a house which he himself owns. Some instances have been reported of the tenants abusing the laws and forcing the landlord to pay huge amounts of money to evict the property. Solution: If any of the above reasons are not found or if the landlord tries to force the tenant out on false grounds, the tenant can enforce the right of protection against unreasonable eviction by filing a case in the civil court. The rental laws in India, which have been termed as 'pro-tenant' by many experts, will ensure that such eviction is avoided.

Some instances have been reported of the tenants abusing the laws and forcing the landlord to pay huge amounts of money to evict the property. Solution: The best solution for squatting is to make a leave and licence agreement while renting the premises and avoiding a rental contract. In case a rental contract has been already signed or the tenant is trying to approach the court, it is better –based on circumstances- to make a settlement with the tenant because, in case of a rental contract, a court case will be much prolonged and the tenant will continue his stay. 9.Problems in reclaiming the security deposit: Before occupying a new house on rent, a tenant is required to pay some months' rent in advance which is termed as security deposit. This deposit acts as a type of security in case the tenant does not pay his rent on time or damages the property in any way. When the tenant is leaving a rented property, he or she is entitled to reclaim the security deposit paid in the initial period of the stay. However, many landlords are not willing to return the money and the tenants have to go through a lot of complications and troubles to reclaim the money they had paid as the security deposit. Even then, the landlord deducts money claiming 'damage' to the property allegedly caused by the tenant during his stay. The landlords may also deny that the deposit was ever paid or claim that they had returned the amount without having done so. Solution: The solution for security deposits related problems is: the government should make it necessary for the landlords to open a separate account to deposit the security amount. If the landlord wants to claim money out of the amount for genuine purposes like default by the tenant in payment of rent etc. Then he should provide a written statement to the bank. A Similar law exists in the state of New Jersey in United States of America and this has greatly reduced the security deposit related problems. The tenant should always ask for a receipt whenever a payment is made, especially for the security deposit. The landlord, however, has the right to deduct money as per the requirements in case of non-payment of rent or any damage caused by the tenant to the property which is beyond normal wear and tear. 40

HUE AND CRY 10. Prolonged procedure in court cases: The reason of increase in the landlord-tenant issues is the prolonged procedure in case a lawsuit is filed. Even if it is an open and shut case, the courts in India take it so long to solve a single dispute that the purpose of the case is lost and the wrong doers get more and more confident to commit such irregularities due to the knowledge that a court will take several years to reach a verdict. Due to this, many landlords and tenants who have rightful claims are afraid to go to the court and simply make a settlement with the other party. Solution: The only solution for this problem is fast court procedures. If justice is swift, wrong doers and fraudsters will feel discouraged to commit crimes and innocents and rightful owners of a certain claim will get their dues, resulting in increased trust in the government. How to avoid landlord-tenant issues: In order to avoid landlord-tenant issues, its essential that both, the tenant as well as the landlord understand their responsibilities. a. When renting a property, a landlord should ensure that the people to whom he is renting the property are fair and reasonable people. b. The tenants, when selecting a house to occupy on rent, must also ensure that it is owned by a fair and reasonable landlord. Good faith and goodwill are very important for both the landlord and the tenant. c. The landlord must provide all necessary facilities as promised to the tenants. d. The tenants must utilise the provided facilities in such a way that they are not damaged. e. Even with a landlord is good and outgoing, the tenants must keep written records and ask for receipts
whenever making payments. f.If the tenants ask for receipts for their payments, the landlord must provide them and also keep written records pertaining to any issue regarding the tenancy. This is not contrary to good faith.
Impact of landlord-tenant problems on real estate: The landlord-tenant issues have a profound impact on the real estate market worldwide and especially in India. A huge part of the real estate investments resides in apartments or houses let out or rent. However, the increasing issues in this regard are causing a sense of gloom among the investors in this market. Many real estate investors are backing away from the housing-for-rent market because of the troubles it causes and the comparatively low income it gives.
The main reasons which give rise to the landlord-tenant issues are: 1.The absence of proper laws and in some case, equally fair laws is giving an advantage to wrong doers who are finding loopholes to commit frauds and abuse the laws. Complete, fair and well structured laws are required which delve in these issues in detail and provide with complete directives to address such problems. 2.The court procedures in our country are too slow even in solving small cases. In many instances, a case is dragged on for 10 years before a verdict is reached. These procedures are needed to be speeded up to solve such issues as it will assure the citizens who follow the law that their interests won't be harmed. It will also discourage the wrong doers from abusing the law due to this particular flaw of abnormal delay in solving cases.

Even the religious texts and personalities spoke on the importance of neighbours and urged their followers to be good to their neighbours. Swami Vivekananda said: “we should love and serve our neighbours because we are all one in the Supreme Spirit known as Paramatman or Brahman.” The holy Bible says: 'Love your neighbour as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." (Mark 12:31) Prophet Muhammad went to such a limit in classifying the significance of neighbours that he said: “a person is not part of his community if he sleeps contentedly while his neighbour sleeps hungry.” He even used to instruct his
followers to add more water when preparing broth or soup, so it should be plentiful enough to be shared with neighbours. Neighbours are even closer than our own relatives in many ways. In case of any unfortunate emergency, it's the neighbours on whom we rely. Thus, it's essential to have good and reliable neighbours to ensure a blissful home. Where it all starts: It all starts when deciding to buy or construct a new house. Many of us often research well enough about the facilities and conveniences a place provides but give less importance in determining what type of neighbours the residence has. Following are some tips which will help you in determining the nature of a neighbourhood where you want to buy a property: 1.Visit the neighbourhood on foot and take a walk around; observe the usual surroundings like walls, lamp posts etc. If there is graffiti on walls and garbage around the corners, then probably,
HOUSING the area doesn't house what we term as 'good neighbours' 2.Visit the area at night. Many buyers make the mistake of visiting the place just during time and therefore miss to know the environment which surrounds it during the night. Visiting the place at night will expose things like: loud music from some building, presence of dogs who bark constantly, teen gangs smoking around the corners etc. 3.Go to the local snack stalls at the corner of the street, buy a soft drink or a packet of chips and chat with the shop owner. Ask him about the neighbourhood and the problems it has. 4.Visit the area at rush hour, walk down the whole street and observe the comings and goings. If possible, befriend residents of the area and ask them about the house you want to buy or the plot you want to construct your house upon. 5.Visit the area on weekends as well as on workdays. Observe the street, the lawns of houses. Observe whether the lamp posts are functioning and the garbage cans are maintained properly? If not, then most probably the neighbourhood houses people who don't give much importance to cleanliness and orderliness. 6.Also check the number of property moves. Especially about the plot/house you are going to buy and generally, about the whole area's houses. A high number of property moves indicates that people who come here are not happy with the place. 7.Avoid buying houses near to the following: Country clubs, Empty lots, Bus stops, Halfway houses, Garbage routes and heaps, Intersections with stop signs. There is no such thing as the 'Perfect Neighbourhood' Even with all the precautions taken, one must understand that there is no such thing as the perfect neighbourhood. Everyone has their own weaknesses. Good neighbours are not defined by perfection, but their willingness to share space with you and their sense of co-existence. Once in a while, you may face annoying things from even the best of neighbours, however, the question is: are your new neighbours willing to co-exist with you
peacefully? Are they willing to exercise a tolerating attitude towards you? If yes, then congratulations! You have got neighbours who fulfil the 'good' criteria. Now, let us come to the possible 'annoying things' mentioned above. Homes are places where a person lives along with his family. Clearly, every age, gender, and ethnicity has its own cultures and ways of life. India, being the melting pot of several cultures, houses people of different mindsets and outlooks. While living together, these differences are bound to create some problems or nuisance. Thus, there will be things about your neighbours you may not like and things about you your neighbours may not like. However, these things won't become problems unless and until there is the absence of a tolerant attitude. Following are some common aspects which many a times develop into problems between neighbours: Common problems between neighbours 1.Noise: One of the most commonly complained about problem between neighbours is noise. Sometimes, music blaring from the adjoining house may result in a headache for you. Sometimes, the sounds of household appliances like washing machines; televisions etc may cause you annoyance. 2.Children: In India, many arguments and family disputes arise by some unintentional act or mischief carried out by children. Similar thing happens between neighbours. Sometimes, a ball may smash your window pane or kids from your neighbours may damage your garden or disfigure your wall. 3.Problems faced while sharing facilities: Problems while sharing certain facilities are inevitable. For example, you may find the joint driveway blocked by your neighbour's car. Or your child may complain that he or she is not allowed to play in the shared play area due to the dominance of your neighbour's kids. 4.Late night hangouts by teenagers: although this problem is common in other countries too, it's too rampant in India. A teenager from the neighbourhood may have the habit of calling his friends to chat at the corner of the street, quite possibly near your home. They may indulge in smoking or eve teasing or other such activities, creating problems for you. 5.Encroachment of property: Sometimes, a neighbour might encroach your property by putting up a fence, a tree or any such structure on your space. Even
if it doesn't affect you much, the violation of property, even minimal, may be the source of annoyance to you. 6.Anti-social behaviour: Another most serious problem is: anti-social behaviour. Racial, religious or any other type of discrimination, gossiping, spreading rumours etc. This can have a very profound effect on the targeted person and is a very serious problem often faced by many households. 7.Environmental issues: Improper disposal of garbage, inadequate cleanliness of property, unkempt exteriors may also prove to be a serious problem for people living nearby. 8.Invasion of privacy: Another common problem, especially in India, is : invasion of privacy. Sometimes, CCTVs are installed in such a way which compromise one's home's privacy. Sometimes, the neighbours living on a higher floor level have a habit of watching your activities in your backside lawn. This also results in a serious and annoying problem. 9.Pet problems: Sometimes, neighbours have pets which are either annoying or dangerous. A dog which keeps digging in your front lawn, cattle which litter in your garden or a dog which snarls every time you go out, making you worry about your kid's safety. 10.Irregular or unlawful activities: Some people indulge in unlawful activities, ranging from major to minor magnitude. For example, a neighbour may start a business of filling gas fuel in cylinders without a legal licence or may indulge in drug trafficking etc. 11.Stalking or bullying: Ladies and children are the most common targets of stalking and bullying. This is also a very serious problem faced by many people. 12.Theft: Unusual as it may sound, theft by neighbours is also a problem faced by many people. It's not the big time stealing we are talking about but the pocketing of small things like cloth lines and clips which are more annoying as it appears undignified to approach your neighbours regarding matters which seem so small but are very annoying. Solutions: 1.Assessment: Before beginning the solution process, it's essential that the situation or the problem is assessed properly. a.The first thing while assessing a problem is its repeatability. It cannot be called a problem if it occurred once or twice. If it keeps on occurring repeatedly, then it can be termed as a problem. b. Is it the neighbour who is a problem or is it you? It's essential to determine the Twin Cities

HOUSING root cause of the problem. You cannot blame your neighbour if he or she organizes a party or a banquet at day time (resulting in noise) and you sleep at that time. You should determine whether it's your activity that is causing the problem or theirs. c.The third thing to be assessed is: Is what you consider to be a problem really a problem? Is it worth approaching your neighbour? d. It's advisable to consult with a friend or your family before approaching your neighbour. 2. Communication: The simplest, most logical and the effective solution to every problem you face with your neighbours, is: communication. a. In many instances, your neighbours do not actually know that they are causing a problem to you and are acting out of ignorance. b. Sometimes, even if they know that they are creating a problem for you, the mentality of many of our countrymen is such that they won't consider it a problem unless you inform them that it is. So, communicating with your neighbours about a problem is the foremost and most important step to solve it. Following are some tips while communicating with your neighbour: Do's: uStart with pleasantries. Compliment them on something good they have uAsk whether they have time. If they

seem busy, just turn back with a pleasant goodbye and after asking them when they will be free. uTalk in a polite tone. Talking politely and talking weakly are two completely different things. It's the tone of your voice which registers first in the listener's mind. uMake the talk short yet pleasant. Be to the point. It's good to make the listener comfortable by talking briefly on things of common interests, just to build a rapport but don't waste time on unimportant things. uIf they have something to say, listen to them by letting them complete what they have to say. uWhen the problem has been discussed, try to end the topic and start a new one before you end the discussion. Like asking them where they bought certain home decor, asking about their hobbies etc. uBefore leaving, politely make a request to them to address the problem you just discussed. uEnd the discussion on a pleasant note. Like shaking their hand, complimenting their home decor, inviting them to your house etc. Don'ts: Don't press on to talking with them when they seem to be going somewhere or if they are busy with other people. uDon't talk to them in front of their guests or other people. It's better to talk when they are alone. uDon't raise your voice. Just keep your
tone strong but polite. uDon't deviate from the problem to
another issue. If there is another issue which comes up, politely say that it will be discussed afterwards. 3.Recognize the mentality: uDifferent people should be approached
in a different manner. Elderly people should be approached with much more respect and tolerance. Teenagers and youngsters should be approached in a friendly manner. Likewise, well educated people or professionals should be approached in a manner befitting their status while less educated or illiterate people should be approached in a way that they feel at ease with you. Do`s uWhen approaching elder people, be
sure not cause disrespect. Elderly people usually don't create problems deliberately. uWhen approaching youngsters, appear outgoing. Youngsters don't like to be approached in a formal way. Catch them while they are walking on the street or on a park bench etc. Talk to them in an informal way and in a casual setting. uWhen talking with educated people, be sure not to waste their time. Be polite and simplify your approach. uWhen approaching less educated people, take into consideration their mentality. uIf the problem is about children, approach their parents in a pleasant way. Before discussing the problem,
HOUSING show to them that you are also genuinely interested in seeing their child well behaved and good mannered. If you have to talk to the child in front of his or her parents, talk in a friendly manner. uIf the problem is about a pet, start the talk in such a way that the owners don't consider you an enemy of their pet. For example, start with: Your cat is so adorable and beautiful but it has an unfortunate habit of littering on my door mat. Don'ts: uNever restore to physical punishment
when dealing with problems with children or pets. It will only escalate the existing problems. uDon't restore to yelling and swearing. uDon't talk to unconcerned people of the household. For example, if a certain person is the head of the family, approach them instead of approaching directly to the one who is causing the problem. uDon't gossip around or discuss the problem with other neighbours. It will put the wrong doer in a defensive mode and they won't accept their mistake. Basically, the problems faced by neighbours can be classified into two types. A) Problems which affect more than one household or the whole locality. Like improper disposal of garbage etc. B) Problems which affect only one household. 4.While dealing with children and teenagers, for their boisterous behaviour or activities like late night hangouts or noisy games, it's better to approach the group collectively in a friendly manner. Instead of angrily abolishing them from playing or hanging out, they should be explained how their activity is causing problems. Another good idea is to suggest them some other venue for their activity, like a playground etc. 5.How to solve problems affecting the whole locality: It should be noted that there are problems, which either affect just individuals or which affect the whole locality or more than one household. These problems are such that, if addressed properly, can be solved with ease and swiftness. For example, If a neighbour is not disposing off his garbage properly or causing any environmental problems by polluting the area, then two or more neighbours can approach him and request him to
refrain from doing so. The mere idea that many people are being affected by his action will mollify the person enough that he won't repeat the action again. If he still persists, the requests should be increased by diversifying the people who visit the wrong doing neighbour. The increased number of approaches and that to by different people will pressurize him enough not to repeat his act, even if he feels forced to do so. No one has the right to spoil the contentment of others by his improper activities. 6.To solve problems like invasion of property, encroachment of property and anti-social behaviour, the first step, as mentioned above, is communication. Many a times, such errors are result of ignorance and a single reminder or communication can solve them. However, if the neighbour is persisting with his activities, and you find it impossible to avoid him, the most sensible step will be: taking the help of some other neighbour and asking them to approach the wrong doer and talk on your behalf. Asking them to accompany you while approaching the wrong doer may also be effective. In problems of encroachment of property, the best course of action is to consult the records and erecting some sort of a boundary to mark your property. 7.Anti-social behaviour is one of the trickiest problems. Its solutions depend on whether you are living alone, your age and many other aspects. The best approach is to trying befriending them and asking them directly whether they have a problem with you. Usually, those indulging in anti-social behaviour like gossiping and spreading rumours are afraid of communicating with the person directly, whom they are targeting. Your direct communication with them (which should be polite yet strong) will make them seem immature in the eyes of others and this may effectively put a stop to their ways. Similarly, if a neighbour is involved in petty thefts, the best solution is to catch them red-handed. If they still persist, the suggestion that you may inform others about their annoying acts may silence them. If you are facing racial or religious discrimination, and approaching the neighbour is not working then the following steps may help: a) Don't get too near to them. However, practise positive behaviour by staying out of
their way. Try to help them without making them feel awkward. Usually, such behaviours remove the barrier as lack of understanding of each other's cultures and religions is the reason of such mentalities. b) Remember their festivals and gift them with appropriate presents. People are more inclined to remove their misunderstandings at such occasions. c) Maintain a good relationship with other neighbours, the more the number of neighbours who like you, the more inclined an intolerant person will be to connect with you. d) Be willing to make the first move to build a friendship. 8.Unlawful activities should be dealt with utmost seriousness and swiftness. Because, if not addressed properly, they may be of seriously sinister consequences. The first step, as in all problems, will be to communicate with the wrong doer. As this problem will affect the whole locality, a group of people should approach the concerned person and talk to him. If he refuses to stop, the locality leader or landlord should be approached. If still the problem persists, the information should be given to the authorities. 9.Stalking: Another serious problem usually faced by women and children. According to Wikipedia, Stalking is unwanted or obsessive attention by an individual or group toward another person. Stalking behaviours are related to harassment and intimidation and may include following the victim in person or monitoring them. If you are a woman and someone is stalking you, the first thing to do is: collect information about the stalker and notify a trusted friend in the neighbourhood. Following are some tips if you feel you are being stalked: uInform your friends. Don't feel shy or foolish in doing so. If the stalker knows that more than one person is aware about his activity, he will be inclined to stop. uIf you get any written notes from the stalker, or emails, text messages etc. Keep them as evidence. uIf the stalker is a known person, inform someone of your trusted contacts within your friends or family about them. uBe physically safe. Keep your doors and windows locked or at the very least bolted. uAsk some of your friends or relatives, preferably who can speak strongly, to have a word with the wrong doer. uIf you feel you are in physical danger, Twin Cities

HOUSING inform your neighbours so that they may be notified and ready in case you need help. Don`ts uNever try to interact with the stalker.
They are not rational and don't respect your privacy. Interacting with them will only make them continue their activity. uDon't feel foolish or immature if you feel stalked. It's not your fault nor is it cowardice to take precautions in such cases. Often people take stalking lightly, but this should not stop you from taking precautions. uNever share your personal information in places where it can accessed by public. For example: sharing contact information or personal information on social media where you don't have any possible way of knowing who else has accessed it.
10.Bullying: Always maintain such a relationship with children that they feel comfortable in sharing their problems with you. If you feel your child seems frightened by a certain house of neighbourhood or a person, calmly ask them the reason. Encourage them in sharing their fears. Even if those fears are unfound, don't scold them. Instead encourage them on sharing their issues with you. If the child is really being bullied by children of his age or older, the first thing to do is: make the child let go of his fear. Make him understand that you are behind him to protect him. Ask him to avoid the

company of such children. If the problem still exists, make the bullying children realise that their behaviour is not going unnoticed. This may cause them to stop. Never consider it undignified to take up the issue of bullying by brushing aside your child saying that its all a part of childhood, because, bullying can seriously affect the psychology of your child. However, encourage the child to stand up to offenders in a dignified way instead of being over-protective. The best way of solving problems is to avoid them, which can be done by being a good neighbour. uBe outgoing. Interact with your neighbours. Let them know who you are. People are usually afraid and eel awkward with people whom they don't know. uRespect and try to understand their lifestyle, culture and religion. uRespect their privacy but also be friendly enough that they share any problems with you if they feel to do so. uRefrain from causing any problems to them, especially those mentioned above. uGive special attention to neighbour of old age. Do their chores and keep an eye out for their needs. Don't feel offended even if they seem ungrateful. Good neighbours are more helpful and dearer than relatives. The best way to get good neighbours is to be one yourself. Good & Bad neighbourhood defines price controls of the property and real estate As it can be expected, the nature of
neighbourhood surrounding a house plays a significant role in its price and directly influences its demand. A house situated in a good neighbourhood will attract a lot of buyers who will be willing to pay comparatively extra amount to acquire it. However, a house, even with its comparatively lesser price and better facilities, will be affected negatively if it's surrounded by a bad neighbourhood. This is a universal observation. According to a research journal authored by Steve Gibbons and published by the London school of economics, “home buyers pay more for a property in high income and educationally rich neighbourhoods than they do for a similar property in poorer, low education neighbourhoods. Property crime rates may be lower, streets safer; the physical environment may be better maintained.� The economical status of many middle class Indians and their mentality is such that they want to buy one house and live there for the rest of their lives. This makes them very careful while selecting the house and the most considered and carefully inspected element while buying one is : the surrounding community and the neighbourhood. So, in order to attract more buyers, a locality or a housing enclave must maintain a standard or a set of general rules to be followed by all so that the locality is reputed to be a good one.

What Sri Ganesha Wants From You This Festival? T
he air is ripe with excitement as the much awaited festival of Ganesh Chaturti is upon us. From the roadside stalls to individual homes, the sight of Shri Vinayaka's idol sitting majestically welcomes the devotees who seek to summon a sense of spirituality from his image. Kids gape with their mouths open in wonder when they see huge idols of Shri Ganesha affixed at various places painted in rich and sparkling colors, making it hard for the watchers to move their eyes elsewhere. The sweet fragrance of incense sticks is wafting from many homes mingled with the spicy aroma of tasty dishes being prepared for the festival. The atmosphere is that of a great anticipation which reaches its highest pitch on the day when the idol of Shri Vinakaya is to be immersed in water. As the specified day approaches, the idol of Shri Ganesha is readied and carefully & respectfully lifted from where it was majestically affixed, to be transported to a nearby water reservoir where it is to be immersed. The idol then reaches the water reservoir, surrounded by a huge crowd of devotees chanting sacred words and lines and onlookers who have come to watch the spectacle of the grand
immersion. With utmost respect, the devotees slowly lower the idol in the water which disappears underneath inch by inch. The crowd of devotees then return to their homes as the excitement dies down. People get back to their homes and soon forget about the idol of Shri Vinayaka they have just immersed with such respect. Now, what happens to the idol? Does the duty of devotees end with the immersion? Is their devotion (which, no doubt, is very high) limited to pre-immersion care and respect they take of the idol of Shri Ganesha? Are there not certain responsibilities after the immersion? Down, beneath the surface of water, there is a peaceful silence as the yells and sounds of the crowd above does not quite reach here. The surface of water ripples and two idols are lowered. One is a huge and sparkly in color with fancy adornments made of plastic while another is a clay idol, whose color is not as sparkly as the first nor it is adorned with the plastic decorations. However, this clay idol radiates a sense of serenity. As it slowly settles down on the waterbed, it snugly fits into the earthy layer underneath and Slowly its clay dissolves in the water and mingles with
the wet crust of the waterbed. Fishes come to investigate the huge shape which has taken up their space. When they see that it is made of clay, they return satisfied and assured and turn to investigate the second idol which has also arrived underwater recently. As the fleet of fishes approach the sparkly colored idol, they sense something a miss. Before they can realize it, a wave of the poisonous leadpaint-affected water hits them, rendering many fishes dead and affecting many others. As the lifeless forms of the dead fish float on the surface, the lead paint starts spreading in the water and fleets of fishes start to migrate away. The sweet tasting water turns strange when tasted. The idol which was made from plaster of Paris (POP) breaks into pieces as the material does not dissolve like clay does. The majestic idol which was brought with such devotion and care becomes unrecognizable, all because of the lack of knowledge regarding the postimmersion affects of a POP made idol. Can a true devotee of Shri Ganesha let such a thing happen? Surely not.

ENVIRONMENT DONTs 1. Dont use POP idols POP or Plaster of Paris is a material which is produced by heating the mineral Gypsum. Apart from not dissolving easily and quickly, POP is also hazardous for water as it contaminates it with Gypsum. According to a report published by Ecoexit, a Pune based social organization, When an idol made of Plaster of Paris is immersed in the water, it changes form to gypsum, thus adding a large amount of material to the water that breaks down very slowly, while adding to the hardness of water, both of which deteriorate the life carrying capacity and quality of the water.
Here are some tips to avoid such things from happening. Dos 1. Use idols made of stone or brass and re-use them every year. Many social reformists as well as religious leaders are urging the public to use idols made of stone or brass and reuse them each year. This will reduce the environmental pollution in many ways as the immersion wont leave any lasting effect on the water bodies. All needed to be done is : re-taking the immersed idol after 24 hours and bringing it back home and keeping it in a safe place and reinstalling the idol the next year. 2. Go for a clay idol: If its not possible to re-use the same idol by retaking it post immersion, idols made of unbaked clay should be used instead of idols made from other materials. Being a natural element, clay dissolves easily and quickly in water. It does not leave any negative impact on the water. However, the dissolved clay may clog the water bodies and obstruct
the flow of rivers etc. 3. Construct special tanks or ponds for idol immersion: Idols, when immersed in natural or public water bodies, obstruct the flow of water resulting in clogging. Even idols made of clay can cause obstruction and clogging. So the best possible solution for this is, either erecting a net or canvas beneath the surface of water so that it catches the idols which can later be taken out and disposed in some other place with proper dignity and respect, OR, special tanks and ponds should be constructed just for the purpose of immersion so that the natural and public water bodies remain intact. 4. Select Natural paints: Natural paints are paints which are biodegradable and which do not have petrochemicals in them. Such paints do not contain toxins due to which they are not hazardous even if they are immersed in water. Such paints are sometimes not available in every color or are not as sparkly and showy as other chemicalmade paints due to which many people ignore them. However, natural paints should be preferred over other paints as they reduce the environmental pollution. 5. Make your own Ganesha idol Instead of buying a new idol, make one yourself by using clay or other biodegradable material. It will provide you with recreation and a relaxing time with your family.

2. Avoid toxic and chemical paints: Chemical paints contain toxic materials which contaminate the water in which they are immersed. Idols colored with such paints should be avoided as much as possible because the harm these paints cause to the water bodies is very serious in nature. Chemical based paints pose a greater threat to the environment as many of them contain mercury or lead, both of which are poisonous. 3. Dont use plastic adornments: Another serious issue in immersion is caused by the plastic materials which are used while adorning the idols. Nowadays, nearly everyone is aware of the serious hazards plastic materials pose to the environment. The best solution for this problem is to avoid such adornments completely. If used, the adornments should be removed before
ENVIRONMENT the immersion. 4. Noise pollution: Another type of pollution faced during the festival of Ganesh Chaturti is: noise pollution. The slogans raised during the procession before immersion of the idol cause the noise levels to rise steadily, creating problems for many, especially the elderly people. The noise pollution also results in the loss of the spiritual atmosphere which the festival aims to bring among the people. Many religious leaders have stated that noise pollution during the processions completely diminishes the holy atmosphere of the festival as people dont get a chance to concentrate. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: The advent of commercialization in idol making has brought about many problems which directly affect our environment. When an idol made of Plaster of Paris is immersed in the water, it changes form to gypsum, thus adding a large amount of material to the water that breaks down very slowly. It also reduces the life carrying capacity of water and increases its hardness. The idol makers also suffer seriously while making the idols as they are exposed to the effects of POP through inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact. This causes serious damage to their eyes, skin and the respiratory systems. Paints used in coloring the idols are usually chemical-based. They contain heavy metals like mercury, cadmium and
lead, which are neurotoxin and nephrotoxin. These metals are bioaccumulative, which means that once they are consumed by fish; they pass-up the food chain and end up in the food that we eat. Incidentally, the brighter the color, the greater is its toxicity. Red, blue, orange and green colors are known to have higher content of mercury, zinc oxide, chromium and lead. It should be noted that even a single drop of mercury on a person's skin can be fatal. One drop in a 20-acre lake can make the fish poisonous to the birds, animals, and people who consume it.
As per the old practices, the idol was to be made from mounds of earth near one's home and immersed near a water body nearby. This was supposed to remind us about the circle of life, about how we all have been created by soil and we have to return to earth once we die. If understood correctly, apart from playing a vital role in inducing humility and goodness in all of us, this can also solve the environmental issues surrounding the festival. But, unfortunately, due to lack of understanding of its true concept, both its spiritual and environmental significance is being lost and forgotten.
Its encouraging that many social and environmental organizations have risen recently to create awareness about the environmental issues. For example, the Chilkur Balaji temple in Hyderabad took a very appreciable initiative by asking the public to stop immersing idols in the Himayatsagar river after which the public avoided immersions in the above water body. The government is also taking active part in reducing the environmental effects of idol immersions. However, the general public needs more awareness to tackle and solve this problem.
Might it not be that Shri Ganesha is asking you all to go deep in the concept of the festival and understand its true significance? Because, the environmental as well as many other problems can be solved by the mere understanding of the true concept and correct practice to celebrate the festival. It remains to be seen how many people will answer this call of Shri Ganesha.
WHAT SHRI GANESHA WANTS FROM YOU: In the end, it should be understood that each festival has its own spiritual significance. The festival of Ganesh Chaturti also has a spiritual importance and beliefs which mark its significance. Twin Cities

ith everyone from individuals to governments echoing the importance of saving the environment, 'Go Green' has become the rallying cry in nearly all sectors as every business and nonbusiness organisation is concentrating in moulding their business and other activities to suit the new cry of going green. The real estate sector has become the leading sector in going 'green' with its outstanding ideas of saving energy in its field. 'Green Home' is one of the brilliantly schemes planned by the real estate sector to reduce the energy consumption and utilise the renewable energy. What exactly is a green home? A green home is a residence which is more energy efficient, utilises less or optimum level of water and other natural resources, has green areas intended for plenty of sunlight and cross ventilation, all of which could save money and ensure better health. Further, a green home is eco-friendly in the sense it adds less waste to the environment. We are living at times when there is an immense pressure on the world's 50

natural resources, including water, and air. There is also an urgent need to cut down on pollutants that continue to play havoc on the environment. The only viable solution to these environmental hazards is to go green. And the onus is not only on the policymakers and green home builders but also on individuals. When you buy a green home, you can save almost 40 to 50 per cent of the operating costs and thus recover the higher initial costs in two or three years. A green home, equipped with water recycling and water harvesting, can save one a lot of maintenance cost, power and water. Consider this: The heating, lighting, and cooling appliances used in green homes use the best of natural resources. A green home utilises alternative energy sources like sun, wind, geothermal and biomass energy. Some green apartments have insulated roofs and walls that considerably lessen the heat ingress in some cases up to 60 per cent, thereby resulting in a significant lower airconditioning load. Another important feature of green homes is that their construction excellence ensures a longer lifespan of the building, reduces repair and
maintenance costs and subsequently increases the investment value. There are many compelling reasons why families today are considering building or buying a green home. Personal health is one of the most important advantages of building or buying green. The homes feature better indoor air quality because of tightly sealed ductwork and high-quality filtration systems. Green homes have less volatile organic compounds and products containing formaldehyde. These chemicals, common in certain paints, carpets, cabinets and millwork, raise health concerns because they produce offgasses that can contaminate the air in a new home for years after completion. If any members of your family have breathing concerns, better indoor air quality is an important reason for building or buying green. Specifications of a Green Home The basic elements of green buildings are solar water heating systems, use of glass panels to allow natural light inside the building during daytime, rainwater harvesting, environmentally friendly building materials and specifications, waste minimisation ensuring healthy

KCR takes a study tour of Singapore to convert Hyderabad into a smart city
elangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao went on a five day tour to Singapore in August to study the famous and well developed city and as a step to formulate plans to convert Hyderabad into a smart city. Highly impressed by Singapore's rapid development, Chief Minister K.Chandrashekar Rao said “Singapore would be a role model for other countries given the simple fact that the country with a population of 53 lakhs was attracting 5.3 crore tourists every year.” “Singapore has proved how a state can move ahead despite difficult conditions; even water is not available in Singapore and they have to import every item from other places. Such a country stands on par with America in economic growth." The CM added. Outlining his plans to develop Hyderabad on the lines of Singapore, the Chief Minister said “Singapore used its sea coasts to grow their industries. We in Telangana, have abundant land which we will use for industries, the land unsuitable for industries will be used to generate solar power. Every inch of land will be used. Our goal will be to create a plug and play facility for industries.” Taking up the approach of industrialisation as the main step to build brand Hyderabad, Chief Minister 54

Tax payers on illegal structures won`t get legal rights over that property In a recent development, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has clarified that occupants of illegal buildings and unauthorised structures wont get legal rights over that property by paying property tax. The move was a carried out foreseeing possible exploitation of an amendment made four years ago to the MMC Act, 1888.
In April 2010, the state government had made an amendment to the act, authorizing the BMC to collect twice the property tax from occupants of illegal buildings. The section concerned, 152 (a) of the act, was inserted to introduce new property tax calculation structure. The section though is yet to be effective, that is, the bills are yet to be sent out to illegal property owners.
Even before this amendment is made effective, city corporators have been expressing fears that occupants of the unauthorized structures will exploit the bills issued to them by the BMC to claim legal status for their homes. "There is substance in the issue raised by the representatives. Hence, the bills we will issue will carry a warning that payment of twice the tax will still mean

Re-alignment of routes to escalate Metro cost The cost of the Hyderabad metro-rail project is expected to escalate as exisiting route will be re-aligned in two corridors. The re-alignment was suggested by the Telangana government. Addressing press persons, NVS Reddy, managing director, Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) said that the realignment would escalate the project
cost by a few hundred crore rupees. Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has already asked LTMRHL to change the metro route on two corridors to save heritage structures. Reddy said there would be slight changes on the routes in front of state assembly building and Sultan Bazar areas. REAL ESTATE

Realisation of the E-dream: Hitec City to get Wi-Fi by Oct. '14 The proclamations about public internet connectivity through Wi-Fi connections is finally coming true as the Telanganan government has announced that the areas of Madhapur, Kondapur (Hitec City), Gachibowli and surroundings will become Wi-Fi enabled by the month of October this year. The step is being taken in the view of the 11th World Congress Metropolis Week, scheduled to be held in October this year which will be attended by 2,000 delegates from nearly 125 metropolitan cities from around the world.
Speaking to press persons, GHMC special commissioner Ahmed Babu, said, “The Wi-Fi connectivity will purely be on proof of concept basis. Companies like Reliance have offered the service. The state government, on a pilot basis, will make the areas around Hyderabad International Convention Centre, where the international delegation will be put up, Wi-Fi-enabled before the conference kicks off. Later, the entire city will become WiFi-enabled. There is a proposal to allow aerial cables for 4G services by Reliance Jio Infocomm. The rates for utilising the poles have not
yet been finalized,” he added. It may be noted that the state government has planned to roll out 4G services in the entire city by December this year. After Hitec City, Next on the list are all state universities in Hyderabad, Necklace Road and Secretariat along with other prominent pockets. The Wi-Fi connectivity will prove to be a dream come true for the citizens of Hyderabad as it was promised numerous times by the Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao. REAL ESTATE
