Certainly! Here’s a rewritten version of the provided content:
LUDHIANA: In an unexpected move, the municipal chief of Ludhiana has initiated demolitions and sealing drives, along with police actions against developers of five illegal colonies in Shimlapuri, Jaspal Bangar, and Kanganwal. Municipal Commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal has also cautioned his inspectors of disciplinary repercussions following this surprise inspection of illegal settlements. These rogue developers have learned that the true underpinning of Ludhiana’s property market is not merely construction but adherence to regulations — and the commissioner’s unannounced checks aim to address these issues.
During a review in Zone C, Dachalwal instructed officials to file a police complaint against a developer involved with an unauthorized colony near Dhand Palace in Shimlapuri and to seize the developer’s assets. He warned that any assistant town planners (ATPs) and building inspectors who do not prevent such illegal constructions would face disciplinary action. Officials must promptly seal unoccupied buildings and tear down those under construction.
Similar directives have been put in place for Ganpati Colony and Krishna Colony, where officials are to notify the revenue department to prohibit property registrations and either demolish or seal illegal structures. In Kanganwal, two additional illegal colonies were targeted, with orders to seal the entrance of one.
“We will take strict action against ATPs and building inspectors assigned to these areas who fail to address illegal colonies,” Dachalwal stated in a media interaction. He confirmed that he would continue conducting surprise inspections to ensure compliance.
