Public notice regarding allottes of New Chandigarh.

Overview of the Public Notice on Allotments in New Chandigarh

If you are an allottee in SAS Nagar or New Chandigarh, this notice is important if concrete or tiles have been laid around plants placed along the road berm/corner. GMADA has asked that such unauthorised construction around the plants be removed so that the required space around the trees remains open. As per the notice, the concrete/tile work around the plants must be removed within 15 days and a minimum 1-metre distance from the tree should be kept clear and in an unpaved condition, in accordance with the directions of the National Green Tribunal (NGT). The notice also makes it clear that if the unauthorised construction is not removed within the given period, GMADA/PUDA/Nagar Nigam, SAS Nagar may remove it without issuing another notice. Any expenses incurred for the removal will be recovered from the concerned allottee. The notice also states that any loss or damage to the allottee during such action will be the allottee's responsibility.

Geographical Context of the Allotment Areas

The land allotments encompass several villages and sectors that form the heart of New Chandigarh's development zone. These include Mullanpur Garibdass, Mastgarh, Toga, Sangla, Bansepur, Teeda, and Chadmajra. All these locations are situated within the boundaries of the city’s growth corridor, primarily along major roads and planned transport routes. Their strategic placement supports the phased transition from rural settlements to mixed-use urban sectors as outlined in GMADA’s master plan, with specific zoning for residential neighborhoods, commercial hubs, and civic facilities. This cluster of villages and sectors has been selected due to their proximity to upcoming infrastructure projects and existing connectivity, forming integral nodes in New Chandigarh's urban fabric.

Historical and Developmental Background

GMADA’s master development scheme in New Chandigarh follows a disciplined, phased land acquisition process, aiming to convert traditional villages into integral parts of the planned city. The sequence of land notices, especially from August 2026 onward, indicates a systematic approach to integrating villages such as Mullanpur Garibdass, Mastgarh, Toga, Sangla, and Bansepur into urban infrastructure. The December 2025 notice precedes recent land acquisition notices and serves as an initial formal step in allocating land to beneficiaries for residential and commercial projects, with subsequent infrastructure development planned to support the growing population. This phased process ensures infrastructure readiness and orderly urban growth while preserving existing land rights for local residents until formal allotments are finalized.

Significance for GMADA’s Regional Development

This allotment notice plays a vital role in GMADA’s strategic vision of establishing New Chandigarh as a comprehensive, sustainable urban space. The allocated land will underpin key infrastructure projects such as roads, water supply, sewage systems, and civic amenities. It also signifies the transformation of rural villages into integrated urban sectors, with spaces designated for residential dwellings, commercial activities, and civic institutions, thereby promoting balanced, sustainable growth in line with GMADA’s long-term plans. Notably, the villages involved are part of a broader effort to modernize the region while respecting existing community structures, aligning with regional development policies that aim for both urban expansion and rural sustainability.
