CPI Press Note on GLADA

Where was GLADA when these colonies were  coming up?

Ludhiana(Rector Kathuria and SK Gogna)Reacting sharply to GLADA’s declaring 12oo colonies as unauthorized, the Communist Party of India Distt. Ludhiana questioned where was GLADA when these colonies were  coming up? Now when the common people have purchased land and built houses out of their hard earned money, the GLADA has declared them unauthorized. The private colonies are coming up because the government has no housing policy for the common people. In a statement issued here today Com Kartar Singh Bowani – Distt. Secretary, Dr.Arun Mitra & Com D P Maur – Asstt. Secretaries and Com Ramesh Rattan – City Secretary of the party said that earlier the government and the administration connived with the colonizers and let these colonies come up, but  now when common people have built up their houses the GLADA is declaring them unauthorized and without providing any alternative asking the people not to buy land in these colonies. This is totally wrong and injustice to the common people. What is needed now is that the required facilities as per GLADA’s rules should be ensured to the residents of these without any burden on the people living there. In the future GLADA should construct houses for the needy people which should be provided by lottery system. The system of auctioning should be discontinued as it facilitates only the rich people to buy land there.
