Plot-holders approach rights panel after LIT fails to evict encroacher
- | Sunday | 7th October, 2018
The allottees alleged that despite several requests, Ludhiana Improvement Trust (LIT) officials had failed to get possession of 5.5 acres of land illegally occupied by Gajjan Singh. The allottees claimed they could claim interest at 9% rate on the amount deposited to LIT on account of their plots until LIT gave them possession of the plots. LIT superintending engineer Rakesh Garg said: “We had demanded police force twice, but did not get it, so demolition could not take place. LIT explained in the letter to police that it had taken possession from Singh, but he encroached the land again, and started cultivation on it. Ludhiana: Due to frequent delay in giving possession of plots in Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar, allottees knocked on the doors of Punjab State Human Rights Commission (PSHRC) on Thursday.
