At a meeting of the cabinet headed by Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, it was decided to clear the policy for Compounding or Regularization of Unauthorized Colonies or Buildings.
The cabinet decided to approve the policy under the Punjab Laws (Special Provisions) Act-2013. The move would enable the government to provide basic civic amenities to about 5,000 colonies and 2 lakh individuals plot holders or building owners’ across the state.
The policy may also improve the circulation pattern of the streets or roads thereby checking the trend of haphazard growth.
The policy focuses on bringing all the unauthorized colonies or buildings into the planning framework and to regularize the development, which would further facilitate the smooth implementation of the master plans across the state to ensure the entire urban development in a holistic manner.
The policy would be applicable for a period of one year i.e. from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014 in the entire state.
Under this policy, the state government would consider only those unapproved colonies or the buildings constructed before the April 1, 2013.
