The Greater Ludhiana Area Development Authority’s project to build an affordable housing estate in Daad village has hit a roadblock with the Punjab and Haryana high court ordering a status quo on the nature of said property, in response to a petition.
The petitioner, Sukhwinder Singh of Gill village, had alleged that a few persons, who were trying to grab his land, had entered into an agreement with the Greater Ludhiana Area Development Authority (GLADA) by submitting fake ownership documents.
Sukhwinder Singh said that one-fourth of the land where the ‘GLADA Estate’ is to come up belongs to him, and another one-fourth is owned by his paternal uncle. “The land belonged to my maternal uncle and was transferred to me through his will. However, a few people who enjoy the patronage of politicians are trying to grab the land. They have entered into an agreement with GLADA, while the authorities are not paying heed to the matter.”
