Senior BJP leader Sanjay Tandon has welcomed the proposed move of the Chandigarh Administration to allow the registration of General Power of Attorney (GPA) properties, describing it as a historic and people-centric move that will benefit nearly 52,000 property holders across the city.
Expressing gratitude to Punjab Governor and UT Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria, Tandon said the decision would provide long-awaited relief to thousands of families who had been living under uncertainty for years due to the non-registration of GPA properties.
Tandon said he had repeatedly raised the issue before the UT Administrator and senior officials on several occasions, highlighting the hardships faced by genuine GPA holders who were being denied proper ownership rights despite residing in their properties for decades.
He said the absence of registration had led to legal complications, difficulties in property transactions and immense mental stress for middle-class families.
Calling the move a major step towards ensuring justice and transparency, Tandon said the Administration had shown sensitivity towards the concerns of residents by addressing a long-pending public issue. He added that the decision would not only regularise property ownership but also strengthen public trust in the administration.
The BJP leader further said that Chandigarh residents had been awaiting a practical and humane solution to the GPA issue for many years, and the Administration’s decision would bring stability and legal clarity to thousands of households.
Tandon expressed hope that the implementation process would be carried out smoothly and efficiently so that all eligible property holders could avail themselves of the benefits without unnecessary delays or complications.
