To facilitate colonisers and house-holders besides curbing mushrooming of unauthorised colonies in Punjab, all clearances required for establishment of new colonies in the State would be provided online from October 15.
In this regard, Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal has already directed PUDA as well as the State housing department to come out with an online portal before the first week of October.
The portal would provide online clearances including change of land use (ClUs), map certification and other requirements to carve out new colonies.Sukhbir said that from October onwards all such certifications would be provided online within a month after filing of application.
Accompanied by local Bodies Minister Chuni lal Bhagat, Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia, PWD Minister Sharanjit Singh Dhillon and state BJP president Kamal Sharma, Sukhbir was presiding over a function organized by the Punjab Colonizers’ and Property Dealers’ Association to extend thanks to Deputy Chief Minister for bringing a comprehensive policy to regularize all the illegal colonies in a systematic way.
Giving a call to the colonizers and property dealers to file applications before the last date to get their colonies regularized, Sukhbir said that Punjab Congress was trying to mislead the people of Punjab through false propaganda.
To streamline urbanization, he said that as master plans had already been prepared for corporation cities like Amritsar, ludhiana and Jalandhar, these cities would witness unprecedented development in next three years.“As much as Rs 3,000 crore would be spent on the ‘Manchester of Punjab-ludhiana’ alone,” announced Sukhbir.
Commenting on the economic disorder in the country, Sukhbir said that country's economy was in shambles due to UPA’s flawed policies. The only option left open was the complete decimation of Congress-led UPA Government in the forthcoming parliamentary elections, he added.
