After the completion of the notice period, legal action will be launched against the housing societies from Monday. Reportedly, there are over 100 legal and illegal housing projects, most of which have violated the regulations and sold public utility land reserved for facilities like greenbelts, mosques, parks and schools. The authority is taking strict measures against the violating projects and has asked utility companies to not issue connections in the non-complying housing schemes.
