The Punjab New Capital (Periphery) Control Act, 1952 As applicable to Haryana

General195218 sections

This Act regulates construction, excavations, and land development within a ten mile area surrounding Chandigarh in Haryana. It applies to landowners, developers, businesses, and residents in this designated periphery, requiring them to obtain official written permission before erecting buildings, making excavations, or altering land use. This legislation matters because it prevents the growth of slums, chaotic developments, and unregulated industries near the capital city. By enforcing building controls and licensing commercial activities like brick kilns, it ensures that the capital region grows in a healthy, organized, and planned manner, safeguarding the regional environment and maintaining the urban master plan.
