Hindustan TimesEight months after the Punjab Vigilance Bureau arrested Punjab chief town planner Pankaj Bawa and booked Jarnail Singh Bajwa, director of Bajwa Developers Limited, Sunny Enclave, Kharar, on the charges of various irregularities in the residential and commercial projects under Greater Mohali Area Development Authority, Bawa has joined back as chief town planner, PUDA. A senior officer said that Bawa joined back following a legal process but was not given the previous charge and was kept in the town planning department only. VB spokesperson had stated that during the investigation of a complaint, it was found that Bajwa Developers Limited got passed a residential and commercial project from the state government of about 179 acres of land in villages Sinhpur, Hasanpur and Jandpur in Mohali district but various irregularities were found in the probe. Similarly, Bajwa Developers, in collusion with the officials/employees of the chief town planner, Punjab, got the land of various persons passed in the layout plan by imposing fake consents without their knowledge, VB added.
