The municipal corporation officials have recommended an FIR against two builders for constructing an illegal colony in Model Town Extension.
The officials said they had tried to stop construction work in the colony several times, but to no avail.
“MC building branch in Zone D has recommended action against Surjit Singh and Jagtar Singh. Once an FIR is registered against the duo, no property will be registered in the colony and the construction work will stop,” said an MC official.
The civic body had sought action against them earlier too. “But as nothing was done, we have written a letter to the police commissioner and the deputy commissioner again for registering a case against the builders,” the official added.
The officials have also asked the deputy commissioner’s office not to allow property registration there.
The issue of the illegal colony had come to the fore after Congress councillor Parvinder Lapran complained against it. At that time, officials had razed parts of the colony.
