Decks cleared for One Time Settlement policy: Sidhu

Chandigarh, Jan 1 (UNI) Punjab Local Government Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu on Tuesday said the Local Government department is well on course towards implementation of its path breaking and futuristic measures and as part of this, the modalities regarding One Time Settlement (OTS) policy aimed at regularizing the illegal constructions have been completed by the department and the policy would be presented for the approval of the cabinet in the cabinet meeting scheduled for January 2.
Stating this while interacting with the media-persons here, Mr Sidhu made it clear that the policy has been formulated as a onetime measure only and afterwards there would be heavy penalties for those indulging in illegal constructions. He said that the OTS policy also includes giving chance of getting their old buildings regularized to those who have done so without the Change in Land Use (CLU). He also said that this initiative would result in making the department self sufficient from financial point of view.
Calling advertising a significant source of revenue generation, the Minister said that Ludhiana is leading the pack with Rs 25 crore revenue which earlier was a meager Rs nine crore.
