Ludhiana: Local police have registered two separate first information reports (FIR) against colonisers for developing illegal colonies in Ludhiana, of.
Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann's announcement to remove the requirement of an NOC for property registration has not been officially notified. 5,000 NOC applications are pending in Greater Ludhiana Area Development Authority. Getting an NOC is difficult for people in illegal colonies and for houses whose developers haven't completed the regularisation process. Opposition parties criticize the government for the delay.
The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) demolished illegal colonies in Jewar and freed 6.37 hectares worth Rs 128 crore from encroachments. As the Noida International Airport comes up in Jewar, the land mafia has become quite active in the surrounding areas. Officials took down colonies in Jewar Bangar, Mangrauli, and Mevla Gopalgarh and appealed to people to avoid buying houses from the land mafia.
Illegal Colonies: They dismantled their roads, boundary walls, passages, street lights, sewer manholes and other constructions. The five unauthorised colonies were located at villages of Daad, Lalton, Jhande and Thareeke.
