Explainer: Hisar’s mushrooming illegal colonies face HC’s axe
The mushrooming of unauthorised colonies in Hisar has been a major issue for the district for quite some time now. Agricultural fields in the outskirts of Hisar town, and in Hansi and some rural parts of the district, are being developed as residential colonies without approval from the competent authorities.Those setting up these illegal colonies have been duping innocent, gullible people, with the practice causing losses to the state exchequer. While disposing of a petition pertaining to the issue, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has issued directions to take action against these unauthorised colonies.
