Ludhiana, October 5, 2023: GLADA Chief Administrator Sh. Sagar Setia, IAS 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 complaince to the orders issued by Additional Chief Administrator, GLADA-cum-Competent Authority Sh. Amarjit Singh Bains, PCS; GLADA Team led by Sh. Mukesh Chadha, District Town Planner (Regulatory) along with Sh. Mandeep Singh, Naib Tehsildar Mullanpur Dakha, Ludhiana as Duty Magistrate and enforcement team of GLADA comprising of SDEs, ATP and JEs demolished five illegal colonies today i.e. on Thursday 05 October 2023 by dismantling their roads, boundary walls, passages, street lights, sewer manholes and other illegal constructions and structures on these sites recently. These five unauthorised colonies were situated in Village Talwandi Khurd, Village Ladian Kalan, Village Bagga Khurd, Village Jainpur and Village Ayali Khurd. When developers did not stop the illegal construction work despite serving them with the notices, a special team carried out the demolition drive. The demolition was held with the co-operation of Police Officials, Officials of PSPCL and revenue department respectively. 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 unauthorised colonies as GLADA will not provide any facility like water supply, sewerage, electricity connections, street lights 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. General Public is advised to purchase plots/built-up houses only in colonies having GLADA License & RERA registered or regularised by GLADA.
GLADA Additional Chief Administrator said besides undertaking a demolition campaign, GLADA had also recommended to the concerned Tehsildars for not registring Plots in these unauthorised Colonies, besides filing FIRs against the developers of unauthorised colonies in Ludhiana district.
