Congress delegation opposes property rate increases in Chandigarh

A Congress delegation met with Chandigarh's deputy commissioner, Nishant Kumar Yadav, to discuss concerns over proposed property rate increases. They argued that the hikes are excessive and would make home ownership more difficult for citizens. Chandigarh Congress chief HS Lucky highlighted significant discrepancies in the revised rates, with some increasing by up to four times. He noted that the proposed rate for industrial land is particularly burdensome for local businesses. The delegation called for a fair revision of rates for residential and commercial properties, citing complaints from housing societies. The deputy commissioner listened to their concerns and promised to consider them carefully.
