Panchkula Residents to Challenge Stilt-Four Policy in HC

The Panchkula Citizens? Body is gearing up to challenge the newly implemented stilt-four-floor construction policy in the High Court. This policy, which allows the construction of four floors plus a stilt, has sparked considerable controversy among local residents.

The citizens? group argues that the new policy could lead to increased congestion and strain on existing infrastructure, including roads, water supply, and sanitation facilities. They also express concerns about potential violations of zoning laws and the impact on the aesthetic appeal of their neighbourhoods.

According to the residents, the policy was introduced without adequate public consultation or consideration of its long-term effects on the community. They claim that the increased construction height could overshadow existing buildings, obstruct views, and decrease property values.

The Panchkula Municipal Corporation (PMC) defended the policy, stating it was designed to meet the growing housing demands in the region. The policy aims to facilitate the construction of more residential units in a bid to address the housing shortage and accommodate the expanding population.

The citizens? body is preparing a detailed petition outlining their grievances and seeking judicial intervention to halt the implementation of the policy. They hope that the court will review their concerns and ensure that future policies are more balanced and considerate of community needs.

As the legal challenge unfolds, the debate continues over how best to manage urban growth while preserving the quality of life for Panchkula's residents.
