Infrastructure196333 sections

The Punjab Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Act, 1963 regulates land use, construction, and development along designated roads and controlled areas within the state of Haryana. It applies to property owners, developers, businesses, and local authorities seeking to erect buildings, make excavations, open access roads, or change land uses near highways and surrounding designated towns or industrial centers. By requiring government permission and licenses for commercial operations like brick kilns or quarries, the Act prevents haphazard urban sprawl, protects roadside safety margins, preserves land for public infrastructure, and ensures planned development across controlled regions.
