Ferozepur admn cracks down on Illegal colonies; demolishes unauthorized constructions
Ferozepur, February 20, 2025: In a bid to curb unauthorized and unplanned development, the Ferozepur administration has launched a crackdown on illegal colonies. Acting on the directives of Additional Deputy Commissioner (G) and Competent Authority Smt. Nidhi Kumud Bambah, a special team demolished unauthorized colonies in Satiyewala, Malwal, Bazidpur, and Rukna Begu. The enforcement team, accompanied by a Duty Magistrate and police personnel, dismantled roads, passages, sewer manholes, and illegal constructions at these sites.
Despite prior notices, developers continued illegal construction, prompting authorities to take strict action. The administration has vowed to intensify such drives in the coming weeks to prevent the mushrooming of unauthorized colonies.
Meanwhile, the District Town Planner (P&R), Ferozepur, has urged the public not to invest in unauthorized colonies, warning that these areas lack basic amenities such as water supply, sewerage, and electricity. Prospective buyers are advised to verify the list of approved and regularized colonies on the official website www.glada.gov.in before making any purchases.
In addition to the demolition drive, authorities have also recommended filing FIRs against developers involved in unauthorized constructions.
