But definition of 'development works' does not appear in main act and hence is leading to a No. of disputes. The words and signs `development works in the area' will be replaced by `basic amenities within the area' in above regulation, which will be well defined in main Act now and hence the new definition as 2a (i) of `Basic Amenities' is proposed to be introduced. This will clarify that the possession will be given after completion of basic amenities within the area.\n(c) In definition of `Engineering operations' at 2 (j), provision of treatment and disposal is missing. By adding words and signs `treatment and disposal of sewage, sullage and storm water' in between `sewerage' and `or of electricity cables', above object will be achieved.\n(d) Similarly in objects and functions of [Pradhikaran] , words 'treatment and disposal of sewage, sullage and storm water' replaces `disposal of sewerage' to achieve above object.\nStatement of Objects and Reasons - Act 23 of 2003\nStatements of Objects and Reasons - Haryana Act 12 of 2004.\nStatement of Objects and Reasons - Act No 23 of 2004.",
