GLADA razes illegal colony in village

Following the directions of Housing and Urban Development Minister Hardeep Singh Mundian and GLADA Chief Administrator Sandeep Kumar, the GLADA Regulatory wing demolished one unauthorised colony in Bhadla village on Thursday by dismantling roads and undergoing illegal constructions and structures at these sites.

Kumar stated a special drive had been launched to take punitive action against those who were fleecing innocent residents under the garb of offering cheaper plots in such unauthorised colonies, which lacked statutory sanction and compliance with the government norms.

The Chief Administrator also appealed to the public not to purchase property/plots/buildings in unauthorised colonies as GLADA will not provide any facility such as water supply, sewerage, electricity connections.

The list of approved and regularised colonies along with their sanctioned maps was available on the official website of GLADA, which may be checked by prospective buyers before buying any property.

He said besides undertaking a demolition campaign, GLADA had also recommended filing of FIRs against developers of unauthorised colonies in the district.
