Patiala, October 30

The office of the Patiala Urban Planning and Development Authority (PDA) has banned registration of sale deeds in various colonies under its jurisdiction over failure of developers in depositing EDC, SIF and license renewal fees. Their licenses as a promoter and to develop the colony have also not been renewed, the PDA said.

Officials said 15 colonies fall in the list including 11 of Patiala and four of Sangrur. They said the public in general should remain cautious not to indulge in sale and purchase of properties in the colonies.

PDA Additional Chief Administrator Gautam Jain said, “We have already stopped the registration of sale deeds in these colonies as either their submission of EDC, license renewal fees or other charges are pending. Consequently the action was taken so that people were not harassed after they initiate the process for purchase of properties.”

The colonies include Golden City, Sanaur, SS City Phase 1, 2, North City Phase 1 and 2 at Chaura village, BH Towers, Kheri Gujran, Simran enclave at Baran village, Sehaj enclave on Dakala road, Shakti Vihar Phase 1 at Inderpura village, Shakti Vihar Phase 3 at villages Rauni and Interpura and Mukat enclave on the Sangrur road in Patiala. The banned colonies in Sangrur are Suncity on Rampura Basti road, Dreamland and Dreamland-3 at Mangwal village and Sangrur Valley at Akal village.
