Chandigarh, April 24: The Punjab government, on Monday, notified its policy for the compounding of unauthorised colonies and for the regularisation of plots and buildings falling within such colonies.More than 8,000 unauthorised colonies and lakh of plots within these can now be regularised under the new policy.
Illegal colonies mushroomed in the state at the cost of residents’ access to basic amenities and infrastructure.
The new policy stipulates that the colonies will be regularised first and the plots in the colonies will be regularised later. In the earlier policies, the plots and colonies could be regularised independently.Now, the categorisation of colonies is based on the built-up area; previously, the categorisation was on the basis of salable area.
