Despite registered wills, property transfers a pain in the neck for Mohali residents

Issue raised earlier, but no action taken

This is not the first time the matter has been highlighted. A few months ago, affected individuals had met local MLA Kulwant Singh, who wrote to senior Housing Department officials seeking an immediate solution. However, with no visible improvement on the ground, residents continue to suffer.

Bhupinder Singh Sabharwal, deputy president of the Tricity Property Consultant Federation, said that families already grieving the loss of a loved one are further harassed by the GMADA officials during death-case transfers. He said he personally raised the issue during the GMADA’s recent grievance redressal camp before Chief Administrator Sakshi Sahni.

Responding to queries, MLA Kulwant Singh acknowledged to The Indian Express that the issue has resurfaced and assured firm action. “The matter has come to my notice again. I will ensure a permanent solution within a few days. No one with a registered will should have to run around GMADA’s offices. The Aam Aadmi Party government is committed to delivering services at people’s doorsteps not troubling them,” he added.

GMADA Chief Administrator Sakshi Sahni stated to The Indian Express that the GMADA is already working on business processing re-engineering to re-examine any procedures which cause unnecessary delays to cut out any chances of harassment, pick and choose etc.
