Residents demand better connectivity

Jalandhar, October 12

A delegation of the Surya Enclave Extension Society today met MP Santokh Chaudhary and handed over a memorandum seeking removal of illegal encroachments from 45-ft road along the railway boundary line and completion of the 120-ft road from Damoria bridge to the national highway.

ML Sehgal, chief of the Surya Enclave Extension Welfare Society, said in 2011, the Jalandhar Improvement Trust (JIT) had framed a ‘residential scheme’ for the allotment of residential plots in Surya Enclave Extension on around 94.7 acres. He said even after nine years, there has been no development in the area and that many plot owners had not received their possessions. Therefore, we demand refund of the amount paid by the allottees along with interest, he added. Besides he said the delegation also expressed gratitude to the MP for releasing Rs 6.5 crore to the railway authorities out of the Smart City Project for the second entry of railway station from Damoria brigde, near Kazi Mandi. — OC
