In a decisive move to uphold the directives of the Hon'ble Punjab Haryana High Court and ensure the protection of the Sukhna Catchment Area, a demolition drive was successfully executed on Tuesday, in the periphery of Village Kaimbwala. This operation was initiated under the orders of the Deputy Commissioner, U.T. Chandigarh.
The demolition was carried out with the assistance of two pocklain machines and one JCB machine, supported by a robust police presence, including lady constables. The operation was conducted under the vigilant supervision of the SDM Central, U.T. Chandigarh. During this drive, approximately 20 unauthorized commercial shops/showrooms, 9 tin sheds, one boundary wall, and two khokhas were demolished.
The operation was completed peacefully and without incident. Photographs documenting the drive are available for public record.
This action is in strict compliance with the orders issued by the Hon'ble Punjab Haryana High Court in CWP No. 18253 of 2009, which mandates the maintenance of the Sukhna Catchment Area to restore Sukhna Lake to its former glory. The Court has prohibited any housing colonies or construction activities within this vital area. Further directives from the Court have empowered enforcement agencies to halt ongoing constructions and demolish any structures erected in violation of these orders without prior notice.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has also reiterated that no constructions should occur in this area post 21.05.2012. Any violations will be met with immediate action against the offenders.
This notice serves as a reminder to the public and relevant authorities about the importance of compliance with these regulations concerning unauthorized constructions.
