Ludhiana, December 4, 2024: GLADA Chief Administrator Harpreet Singh, had adopted zero tolerance to unauthorized 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 unauthorized colonies, which lacked statutory sanction and compliance with the government norms.
In compliance of demolition orders issued by Additional Chief Administrator, GLADA -Ludhiana against unauthorised colonies, Duty Magistrate, police force and enforcement team of GLADA Regulatory wing demolished two unauthorized colonies today i.e. 04th December 2024 in village Dhandra Ludhiana by dismantling their roads and undergoing illegal constructions and structures on these sites. 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.
The Chief Administrator, GLADA, appealed to general public not to purchase property/plots/buildings in unauthorized colonies as GLADA will not provide any facility like water supply, sewerage, electricity connections etc. The list of approved & regularized colonies along with their sanctioned maps is available on the Official Website of GLADA, which may be checked by the prospective buyers before buying any property.
GLADA Additional Chief Administrator said besides undertaking a demolition campaign, GLADA had also recommended filing of FIRs against the developers of unauthorized colonies in Ludhiana district.
