Survey over, now GMADA to issue notices for land

The Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) is moving closer to acquire land for first-of-its kind low/high- density residential project in New Chandigarh (Mullanpur). The Social Impact Survey (SIS) of the area where the land is to be acquired has been completed.

After the SIS, the GMADA will soon issue notices to the land owners for acquiring the land. GMADA officials said that it is first-of-its-kind scheme as plot sizes will be bigger in low- density scheme and the number of people will be lesser.

GMADA will acquire around 309 acres of land for the new scheme. Low/high-density residential scheme will have residential area with green belts, and commercial establishments in the vicinity for providing shopping and employments opportunities to the residents.

A GMADA officer told The Indian Express that the Greater Mohali Region (GMR) within the jurisdiction of GMADA has been the subject of recent regional planning effort to plan for an urban area of 4.5 million people.
