Nawanshahr - District Magistrate Navjot Pal Singh Randhawa has decided keeping in mind the economic interests of the general public that any machine operator within the limits of district Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar will pay 7 thousand rupees up to 25 acres from the general public for marking (one tuck or adjoining land) and may charge a fee of Rs.300 per acre for marking an area exceeding 25 acres, the said rates being fixed after consultation with the general survey and marking machine operators.
He said that General Home Services Private Limited, Plot No. 41 Industrial Area Face 9 SAS Nagar Mohali Punjab and SG and Associates, SCO 4 New Sunny Enclave Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar Punjab have agreed to provide marking services through DGPS machine at these rates. is He said that for the important service of marking, the general public has to arrange the machine at their own level to get marking through the DGPS machine, due to which the machine operators collect arbitrary rates. Due to this, while the common people are being economically exploited, the image of Punjab government is also damaged. He instructed the Kanungoa of the district to implement the said rates.
