Meeting held to address complaints over enhancement and non-construction fees
Jalandhar News: In a major development that could bring relief to city residents, Jalandhar Improvement Trust Chairperson Rajvinder Kaur Thiara and Central Constituency Incharge Nitin Kohli held a meeting to address longstanding grievances related to enhancement and non-construction (NCF) charges.
On Wednesday, a delegation of residents from Surya Enclave, Guru Gobind Singh Avenue, and Maharaja Ranjit Singh Avenue met the Trust chairperson under the leadership of Nitin Kohli. The delegation highlighted that despite having valid No Dues Certificates (NDCs) and completed property registrations, many property files still reflect pending enhancement and NCF charges. Residents said these charges were not only unjust but also placed an additional financial burden on them.
The delegation included residents Rajan Gupta, Gulshan Agrawal, Pawan Sethia, Manish Kumar, and Rajeev Dhamija, who presented specific examples and demanded an immediate halt to what they described as unnecessary charges.
Taking prompt action, Chairperson Rajvinder Thiara ordered a review of the relevant files and directed that all such payments be temporarily halted until further notice. She assured the delegation that a fair decision in line with the current policies of the Local Government Department would be made within a week.
Nitin Kohli’s proactive efforts in bringing residents’ concerns to the forefront and coordinating with the Trust were widely appreciated during the meeting. His role was seen as crucial in moving the process towards a practical solution.
Residents present at the meeting expressed gratitude to Rajvinder Thiara and Nitin Kohli, saying that the intervention not only offered financial relief but also renewed hope for greater transparency in the functioning of the Improvement Trust.
