Bath Castle owners get MC notice for Rs 1.58 crore dues
The Municipal Corporation sent a notice to the owners of renowned Bath Castle and asked them to pay Rs 1.58 crore for the regularisation. In 2017, then MC Commissioner had given approval for the regularisation of Bath Castle and asked to pay an amount for the same.
The owners paid first instalment, but then failed to do so.
Now, the building department of the Municipal Corporation has sent a notice to the owners to pay the amount along with interest. An official from the civic body said they would seal the castle if they did not receive the payment.
Construction work stopped at Basant Hills
Today, the building branch of the MC also stopped the construction work on 100 marlas at Basant Hills on the Jalandhar-Hoshiarpur road because the develops have no CLU.
“We had been raising this issue with the owners earlier too, but, they didn’t listen to us. Now we have sent them a notice too,” a building branch official said. Also, the officials said a new illegal colony was being carved out on two acres near the office of Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the construction work was also stopped.
