Mohali Residents Call GMADA’s Move a “Betrayal”
Tensions are rising in Mohali as residents prepare to launch an agitation against the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) over enhancement charges. Citizens claim the additional fees imposed on property owners are unjust, labeling it as “nothing short of betrayal.”
The issue stems from GMADA’s demand for enhancement charges on already allotted plots, a move residents argue is both unfair and financially burdensome. Many allege that despite paying substantial amounts during allotment, GMADA has introduced new charges without justification.
Why Residents Are Protesting
Unplanned Burden: Residents say the charges come at a time of economic stress.
Lack of Transparency: Citizens accuse GMADA of not offering a clear breakdown of why the charges are being levied.
Legal and Ethical Concerns: Activists argue that enhancement charges violate the principle of fair dealing with property buyers.
Community leaders have warned of sit-ins, rallies, and legal challenges if GMADA fails to roll back the decision.
Vizzve Finance Insight: Property Owners Under Stress
The financial strain of sudden enhancement charges is significant for middle-class families. According to Vizzve Finance, arbitrary fee hikes can destabilize household budgets, delay housing loan repayments, and negatively affect the real estate market’s trust factor. The protest in Mohali highlights how regulatory bodies must balance infrastructure development with fair treatment of residents.
What Lies Ahead
With the agitation gaining momentum, all eyes are on GMADA and the Punjab government’s response. If unresolved, this could set a precedent for other regions where development authorities impose additional charges post-allotment.
