In compliance with the orders issued by additional chief administrator, GLADA-cum-competent authority Ojasvi, the enforcement team of GLADA comprising district town planner (Regulatory), sub divisional engineers (regulatory), assistant town planner (regulatory) and junior engineer (regulatory) along with police force lead by Gurpreet Singh ACP (West) demolished the illegal buildings/structures.

In a move to check mushrooming of illegal buildings, at the very initial stage, GLADA is planning more such drives in upcoming weeks, said the officials.

GLADA chief administrator also appealed to the general public not to purchase such unauthorised property/plots/buildings as GLADA will not provide any facility like water supply, sewerage, electricity connections, street lights etc.

GLADA additional chief administrator Ojasvi Alankar said besides undertaking a demolition campaign, GLADA had also asked the concerned Tehsildars to not register plots in these unauthorised colonies; PSPCL to not issue electricity connections besides filing FIRs against these violators in Ludhiana district.
