Chandigarh : Senior Congress leader Amarinder Singh today asked the Punjab government to issue guidelines for regularising colonies across the state. He said people were suffering and this was having an adverse impact on business sentiment.
Smaller property transactions had come to a halt, resulting in losses to small-time traders, besides harassment to those who wanted to buy or sell plots or houses for personal use, he said.
Blaming the SAD-BJP government for the situation, the Congress Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha and Amritsar MP, said: “Such situations emerge when ruling partners do not trust each other. The level of mistrust has led to a stage where Akali leadership is wary of taking a decision which might end up benefiting the BJP,” he said.
Pointing out the “undue delay” in notifying NOC for regularising colonies, the former Chief Minister said in this process, the common man was suffering.
