Mohali, April 15 -- The Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) has started an e-auction of 48.72 acre of land which was earlier meant for Economically weaker sections (EWS) but now has been converted to residential group housing sites in Mohali.

Notably, the Punjab Government in February had approved the policy to sell the scattered chunks of EWS land in different housing societies through e-auctions across the state. The government will further acquire a total 1,500 acres across the state to build the EWS accommodations to benefit the poor.

The e-auction for six group housing sites, which started on April 13, will continue till 12 noon on April 22.

GMADA will sell these sites with a total reserve price of Rs.1,214.52 crores...
