Officials Consider OTS Scheme for Illegal Buildings in Ludhiana

In a bid to address the issue of unauthorized constructions within the Ludhiana civic body's jurisdiction, officials are contemplating the implementation of an One-Time Settlement (OTS) scheme. This initiative aims to regularize illegal buildings by providing owners with an opportunity to legalise their structures, thus mitigating potential demolition threats. The move reflects the civic authorities' commitment to balancing urban development and compliance with construction regulations. The proposed OTS scheme is expected to offer a pathway for property owners to regularize their buildings by paying a prescribed fee or penalty, which, in turn, would help generate revenue for the municipal body. This effort aligns with the broader goal of enhancing urban planning and ensuring the safety and sustainability of constructions within the city. While the specifics of the scheme are yet to be finalised, it is anticipated that this amnesty initiative will provide relief to property owners who inadvertently built without requisite permits. It offers a pragmatic solution that aims to bring illegal structures within the regulatory framework, thereby benefiting both the city's development and the property owners themselves.

Creativity is for Humans, Productivity is for Robots!

On most construction sites, the rhythm of progress is measured by the clang of steel, the hum of machinery and the sweat of thousands. But increasingly, new sounds are entering the mix: the quiet efficiency of algorithms, the hum of drones overhead, and the precision of robotic arms at work. Behind the concrete and cables, an invisible force is taking hold: data. It is turning blueprints into living simulations, managing fleets of machines, and helping engineers make decisions before a single brick is laid. This is not the construction of tomorrow; it is the architecture of today – built on ..
