A government allocation in Mohali has granted property ownership to 396 families, formalising their right to the houses they occupy.
Mohali authorities have officially transferred ownership rights of residential units to 396 families, confirming their legal title to the properties. The transfer was carried out under a state‑run housing scheme aimed at regularising informal settlements and providing secure tenure to low‑income households.
The families, many of whom have lived in the same houses for years, received ownership certificates after verification of eligibility and documentation. Officials said the move is expected to improve residents' access to credit and municipal services, as well as strengthen community stability.
Local officials highlighted that the initiative aligns with Punjab's broader objectives to address housing shortages and promote inclusive urban development. The ceremony was attended by district officials and community representatives, who emphasized the importance of transparent implementation of such schemes.
The allocation follows a series of similar efforts across the state, where authorities have been working to regularise unauthorized colonies and grant legal status to occupants. Stakeholders hope that the successful transfer in Mohali will serve as a model for other urban areas.
The newly titled homeowners are now eligible for government subsidies and can legally sell or lease their properties, marking a significant step toward economic empowerment for the beneficiaries.
