Chandigarh: Punjab housing and urban development department will identify land in smaller towns to develop new urban estates. Teams will also be sent for field surveys to assess the ground situation for ensuring amenities in approved colonies.
Presiding over a meeting to review the progress of ongoing development projects being executed by Greater Ludhiana Area Development Authority (GLADA), Patiala Development Authority (PDA) and Bathinda Development Authority (BDA), housing and urban development minister Aman Arora said illegal colonies will not be allowed, and strict action would be taken against violators.
