The Chandigarh administration has issued eviction notices to residents of Janta Colony, Sector 25, ordering them to vacate within a week or face forced removal. This move follows the recent demolition of Sanjay Colony in Industrial Area Phase-1, where over 1,200 hutments were cleared, displacing around 6,000 people and reclaiming 6 acres of land valued at INR 250 crore. Authorities maintain that due process was followed and the land was illegally occupied. As part of the city's push for a slum-free environment, officials are urged to ensure proper rehabilitation and resettlement for affected residents to reduce the social impact.

Earlier this week, the administration successfully reclaimed 6 acres of land by demolishing Sanjay Colony in Industrial Area Phase-1. This operation led to the demolition of over 1,200 hutments, affecting approximately 6,000 residents. The reclaimed land is estimated to be worth around INR 250 crore.
Authorities have stated that the residents of Janta Colony were given ample opportunity to present their case against the demolition. After following due process, the decision to proceed with the demolition was made, as the land was found to be illegally encroached upon.
Moving forward, it is crucial for authorities to ensure that displaced individuals are provided with adequate rehabilitation and resettlement options to mitigate the social impact of such actions.
