Chandigarh Housing Board Approves Regularisation of Changes and Lift Installation
The Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) approved two key proposals benefiting over 1.5 lakh residents in 35,000 independent houses and flats. These include regularising need-based changes in independent houses and permitting lift installations in dwelling units, addressing long-standing issues of unauthorised alterations and mobility needs. The decisions follow recommendations from a committee formed in May 2026 and comply with court orders on structural safety. Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria emphasized the humanitarian grounds for these measures, while ensuring no encroachment on government land.
