The Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) will take action against as many as 17 private builders for constructing new residential colonies without proper approval, a top authority official said.
These builders were inviting bookings for the new colonies through advertisements in Delhi-based newspapers, but they had not obtained no objection certificates from the authority and nor had they fulfilled other requirements as per the law, JDA commissioner D.B. Gupta said here Tuesday.
The new colonies were being constructed on Delhi, Agra, Ajmer and Tonk roads. Constructions on several of these sites have been demolished.
