The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, under the visionary leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, has achieved a significant victory for the residents of Nayagaon and Kansal by reducing the eco-sensitive zone around the area to 100 meters, down from the previously proposed 3 kilometers.
This move has been approved by the Honorable Supreme Court, marking a major relief for thousands of families in the region. Expressing her delight over the decision, Kharar MLA Anmol Gagan Maan stated, "The long-standing demand of the people of Nayagaon and Kansal to limit the eco-sensitive zone to 100 meters has finally been fulfilled.
For years, residents were burdened by the fear of demolition and the inability to get building plans approved. Today, the Supreme Court's approval of the 100-meter limit brings an end to these challenges, offering a much-needed respite to the people."
MLA Anmol Gagan Maan said that the previous proposal to extend the eco-sensitive zone to 3 kilometers would have rendered vast swathes of land unusable, severely impacting property values and creating hurdles for homeowners.
The AAP government, staying true to its commitment to protect the interests of the people, worked tirelessly to ensure this issue was resolved in their favor. MLA Anmol Gagan Maan extended her gratitude to AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, stating, "This decision showcases the AAP government's unwavering dedication to safeguarding the rights and livelihoods of the people of Punjab.
Despite numerous challenges and opposition efforts to push the limit to 3 kilometers, our government stood firm and secured this victory for the residents of Nayagaon and Kansal." She further added that over 40,000-50,000 residents in the area will now benefit from this decision.
The approval of building plans will now proceed without any legal or administrative hurdles, and the lingering fear of demolition has been permanently erased. "This is not just a victory for the government, but for the people.
The AAP government’s determination to protect the value of their properties and ensure their peace of mind has borne fruit. Today is a day of triumph for the residents of Nayagaon and Kansal, and I congratulate them wholeheartedly," said MLA Maan.
