Building razed on GLADA chief order
Appeals to public not to purchase plots or buildings in illegal colonies
On the directions of Housing and Urban Development Minister Hardeep Singh Mundian and GLADA Chief Administrator Sandeep Kumar, its regulatory wing demolished one unauthorised building on Friday at Pohir village and dismantled its illegal constructions and structures.
The developers did not stop the illegal construction works despite receiving notices. A special team carried out the demolition drive, which went unopposed.
The GLADA has also recommended filing of FIRs against the developers.
A spokesperson stated that zero tolerance was being adopted against unauthorised and unplanned development with a special focus on illegal colonies. He said a special drive had also been launched to take punitive action against those who were fleecing innocent residents under the garb of offering cheaper plots in unauthorised colonies, which lacked statutory sanction and compliance with the government norms.
Chief Administrator Sandeep Kumar appealed to the public not to purchase plots or buildings in unauthorised colonies as GLADA would not provide any facility such as water supply, sewerage, electricity connections, etc. The list of approved and regularised colonies along with their sanctioned maps was available on the official website of GLADA, which should be checked by prospective buyers before buying any property, he added.
