Ludhiana, July 26, 2024: GLADA Chief Administrator Sandeep Rishi, had adopted zero tolerance to unauthorised and unplanned development with a special focus on illegal colonies. He said a special drive has also been launched to take punitive action against those who were fleecing innocent residents under the garb of offering cheaper plots in these unauthorised colonies, which lacked statutory sanction and compliance with the government norms.
In compliance of demolition orders issued by Additional Chief Administrator, GLADA-cum-Competent Authority Sh. Ojasvi, IAS against unauthorised colonies, Duty Magistrate Sh. Surinder Kumar Pabbi, Naib Tehsildar(East), Ludhiana, police force and enforcement team of GLADA comprising of District Town Planner (Regulatory), Assistant Town Planner (Regulatory), Sub-Divisional Engineers, GLADA, Junior Engineers (Regulatory) demolished Eleven unauthorized colonies today i.e. 26th July 2024 at Village Bhamian Khurd, Bhamian Kalan Ludhiana by dismantling their roads, boundary walls, passages, sewer manholes and undergoing illegal constructions and structures on these sites. These unauthorized colonies were situated in village Bhamian Khurd, Bhamian Kalan Ludhiana. When developers did not stop the illegal construction work despite serving them with the notices, a special team carried out the demolition drive, which went unopposed. In a move to check mushrooming of illegal colonies at the very initial stage GLADA is planning more such drives in upcoming weeks.
