Mohali: Amid protests from local residents, the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) carried out an encroachment removal drive in the green areas of Mohali.  

All Encroachments and illegal structures were removed with the help of machines and labourers. It was found that in many party of the city people have covered the back side of their resident and made it their private garden.

The reason by residents was that these places were not managed and kept unhygienic hence they took the step to manage these places and developed them but that reason is not good enough.

As informed by Officials that notices had been issued to violators by the competent authority from time to time. The drive are being carried out due to a civil writ petition, the Punjab and Haryana High Court had further issued directions to the authority to file a status report after demolishing unauthorised structures.

The authority had set March 12 as the last date for owners to remove encroachments and illegal structures. The development authority had announced that from March 13, it would initiate a demolition drive to remove unauthorised structures under the Punjab New Capital (Periphery) Control Act, 1952, Punjab Apartment and Regulation Act, 1995, and Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995.
