GMADA Public Notice
Public notice regarding Gateway City Sector 118-119 SAS Nagar.
Overview of the Public Notice for Gateway City Sector 118-119
The Punjab Urban Planning and Development Authority (PUDA) has issued a public notice for the allottees of Gateway City, Sectors 118–119, S.A.S. Nagar. The notice concerns areas around plants located near road berms and corners where unauthorized concrete or tile construction has been carried out around the plants. PUDA has directed the concerned allottees to remove this construction and keep the required area around the plants open and unpaved.
What Do Allottees Need to Do?
Allottees have been given 15 days from the date of the notice to remove the unauthorized concrete or tile construction around the plants. The area must be cleared to maintain a distance of at least 1 metre from the trees/plants. After the construction is removed, the space around the plants is required to be kept raw and unpaved.
Why Is PUDA Asking for This?
The notice states that the action is being taken in accordance with the directions/orders of the National Green Tribunal (NGT). The purpose of the instruction is to ensure that the area around the plants is not covered with unauthorized concrete or tiles and remains open as required.
What Happens If the Construction Is Not Removed?
PUDA has clearly stated that if the unauthorized construction is not removed within 15 days, the department may remove it without issuing any further notice. Any expenses incurred by PUDA for carrying out the removal will be recovered from the concerned allottee. Therefore, affected allottees have been given an opportunity to remove the construction themselves within the specified period.
What About Damage During the Removal?
The notice also states that if the allottee suffers any damage during the departmental removal action, the entire responsibility will lie with the concerned allottee. This makes it important for affected allottees to comply within the 15-day period rather than waiting for PUDA to take action.
Who Should Pay Attention to This Notice?
The notice is specifically addressed to allottees of Gateway City, Sectors 118–119, S.A.S. Nagar. If an allottee has constructed a concrete or tiled surface around plants placed at a road berm or corner without authorization, the concerned allottee should check the notice and take the required action within the specified period.
Geographical Context of Gateway City Sectors 118 and 119

Development Background of Gateway City and Surroundings

Past notices have documented processes such as legal land clarifications, infrastructure development, and land resumption for public utilities. Sectors 118 and 119 have been active points for legal and infrastructure activities. The December 2025 notice continues these efforts by formalizing ongoing development and administrative procedures.
Role of This Notice in Broader Development and Planning

By focusing on sectors 118 and 119, it aims to resolve legal issues, facilitate land transactions, and promote infrastructure projects like roads and utilities.
