Mohali, July 11

Anandpur Sahib MP and Congress National spokesman Manish Tewari today urged Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh to take strict action against the real estate mafia in Mohali, Kharar and New Chandigarh areas for failing to fulfil their obligations to people to whom they have sold plots.

Tewari made an appeal to the Chief Minister after listening to the aggrieved residents of Sectors 116 and 117, Mohali, who were complaining about the lack of basic infrastructure by errant builders. The meeting was organised by the Resident Welfare Association, Sector 117, TDI City.

Tewari assured a group of residents, who met him here today, that he would also personally take up the matter with Capt Amarinder Singh for an early and effective solution to their problems.

He also advised people to move the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) and the Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT) under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) against the defaulter builders/companies. He also assured them of legal and other assistance required in the matter.

The MP urged the Chief Minister, who is also the chairman of GMADA, to personally review all housing projects in these three areas and order strict civil and criminal action against those real estate developers who failed to fulfil their obligations to people when they sold plots and flats.
