Even as illegal colonies continue to come up across the city and especially on the periphery of the industrial hub, the Greater Ludhiana Area Development Authority (GLADA) has made yet another desperate bid to rein in unscrupulous developers by asking Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) not to give any new electricity connections to such colonies.
While confirming development GLADA Estate Officer Sonam Chaudhry said she did agree that the issue was more complex to deal with because there were quite a few colonies that were not regularised under the (now lapsed) government policy. Many owners in such colonies had got their plots and properties compounded on payment of stipulate composition fee, she added.
