Tewari for strict action against real estate mafia

Chandigarh/Mohali: Congress National Spokesperson and Shri Anandpur Sahib MP Manish Tewari today urged the Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh to take strict action against the real estate mafia in Mohali, Kharar and New Chandigarh area for failing to fulfill their obligations to the people to whom they have sold the plots.

Tewari assured a group of residents who had met him here today that he will also personally take up the matter with the Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh for an early and effective solution to the residents’ problems.

Tewari was listening to the aggrieved residents of Sector 116 -117 Mohali who were complaining against the lack of basic infrastructure by the errant builders. Tewari advised them to move the RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) and the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) Process for winding up of the defaulting builders companies. He also assured them all the legal and other assistance required in the matter.

He said the back of the builder Mafia in Mohali, Kharar and New Chandigarh needs to be decisively broken as they are holding the life savings of hapless citizens to ransom.
