The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), Punjab, has stopped Motiaz, a Chandigarh-based builder, from marketing, booking, or allotting flats under its project “The Royale Sector 39 Extension” in Mohali.

RERA Chairman Rakesh Kumar Goyal said in an interim order that the developer had publicised the project without registering with the authority and had also failed to appear before it despite multiple notices. This was in violation of Section 3 of the RERA Act.

Taking a serious note of the alleged violations, the authority has put a bar on the builder from promotion, booking or sale of flats in the project until further orders. The interim stay will remain in place pending a detailed hearing.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
