The Story in Brief
Chandigarh MP Manish Tewari has expressed disappointment over the lack of progress on long-pending property issues in the city, including share-wise sales, ownership rights in rehabilitation colonies, and Lal Dora extension. Responding to a Lok Sabha query from Tewari, the Union Territory administration told the Ministry of Home Affairs that no proposal to extend Lal Dora limits to 22 villages is under consideration, Hindustan Times reports.
The administration cited a January 2023 Supreme Court judgment that restricted apartmentalisation in heritage sectors and said share-wise transfers outside family remain banned. A proposal to grant ownership rights to residents of rehabilitation colonies, covering 48,111 dwelling units and nearly two lakh people, has been sent to the MHA. Tewari said there has been no forward movement except on rehabilitation colony ownership.
The Indian Opinion
The UT administration hides behind court orders and planning norms, but residents of rehabilitation colonies and cooperative societies have been waiting decades for clear titles. The Centre should stop treating these as file notes and fix a deadline for deciding the ownership proposal. Watch whether the MHA clears the 48,111 dwelling units by June, or the pattern of endless deferrals continues.
