Chandigarh Housing Board Launches Crackdown On Building Violations

The CHB has initiated a citywide drive to remove unauthorized structures and encroachments. This action follows strict court orders aimed at restoring planned urban layouts and ensuring compliance with housing regulations.

Residents Given Deadline

Homeowners have been urged to voluntarily remove encroachments and restore structural components within seven days. Failure to comply will result in penal action, including demolition charges and restoration costs.

Key Highlights

* Notices issued to around 1,300 house owners for violations
