Good evening all,
As per Glada chief administrator Kamalpreet Kaur Brar, regular action was being taken, and in the past 2-3 months, the authority had demolished around 50 illegal colonies, and was also planning to lodge FIRs against the builders.

Hi Baldeep,
Whereas, MC's officiating commissioner Ghanshyam Thori told that he had asked officials of the building branch to take action against violators. And in the coming days, the MC would start a demolition drive.

Yes, and builders openly refuse to obey rules in Ludhiana and officials are turning a blind eye. Despite of the fact that authorities have records of above 1300 unauthorized colonies, the municipal corporation and Greater Ludhiyana Area Development Authority have failed to take action against them.

Hi Lokesh,
But i heard that the state government came up with 3-golden chances for builders to get their colonies regularized until February this year. According to data available, Glada got applications to regularize 1200 colonies. and MC received applications of 120 colonies. Out of these, only around 20 builders fulfilled the requirements. Some of the violators submitted 10% of the total amount, but then never deposited the remainder.

But the builders failed to do so, and the authorities failed to take any action possibly due to political pressure. It is not just illegal colonies, but illegal building construction itself that is a bigger challenge for the authorities.
