LUDHIANA: The Greater Ludhiana Area Development Authority (GLADA) has initiated a crackdown on unauthorized constructions in the Shaheed Sukhdev Singh Nagar colony, issuing notices to 43 property owners for breaching approved building plans.

Authorities report that this enforcement action follows an increase in complaints about illegal commercial developments in residential areas, especially along South City and Ayali Khurd roads. Residents have expressed concerns over rising traffic congestion and parking issues as residential properties are being converted into shops and medical facilities, such as Mahal Hospital, without government approval.

Despite previous warnings, numerous developers have continued their projects, prompting GLADA to start revoking residential building permissions for the affected sites. Additional Chief Administrator Vikas Hira emphasized that the agency is now implementing stricter actions, including property seals and demolition drives, to curb unplanned construction across the Ludhiana district.

GLADA’s chief administrator has urged the public to adhere to approved layouts and verify colony credentials via the agency’s official website before purchasing any properties. The authority enforces a strict zero-tolerance policy against the “mushrooming” of illegal structures to safeguard urban infrastructure and public convenience.
