Punjab Government to Formulate Relief Policy for Unauthorised Colony Residents
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann announced plans to formulate a uniform relief policy for residents of unauthorised colonies who invested life savings in properties sold by fraudulent developers. These residents face legal challenges and lack basic amenities like water, electricity, and sewerage due to concealed information by developers. The government will take strict legal action against such developers while ensuring equitable relief across Punjab. A meeting with officials will review pending issues and public suggestions to develop a practical, long-term solution.
