Hero Homes, the flagship residential brand of Hero Enterprise, has unveiled Leafsong Retreat, a residential development in Sector 99, Mohali.

Central Chandigarh’s Sectors 5, 9, 17 and 35 are prominent property zones. Sectors 5 and 9 have scarce, expensive low-density housing, government residences and premium villas; Sector 17 is the primary commercial and retail district, while Sector 35 is residential.

Panchkula attracts professionals working in Chandigarh and nearby industrial areas, supported by residential sectors and a relatively calm environment. Zirakpur’s strategic location at the Chandigarh–Panchkula–Ambala junction and affordability drive demand for apartments and gated societies.

Mohali’s growth is linked to expanding IT parks, commercial offices and institutions. Aerocity, Sectors 66–71 and areas near Airport Road are seeing residential and commercial growth, with demand also supported by proximity to the international airport.

New Chandigarh, also known as Mullanpur, is a planned urban extension and future growth corridor with large-scale township developments and residential communities aimed at luxury and mid-segment buyers.

The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission sentenced Gurpreet Singh Sidhu, director of Emerging Valley Private Limited, to three years’ rigorous imprisonment and fined him ₹1 lakh under Section 72 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. The commission directed ₹50,000 of the fine to the complainant’s legal heirs and the remainder to the state exchequer.

The case concerns a flat in Emerging Valley’s project at Sector 115, Sante Majra, Kharar-Landran Road, Mohali (Banur area). On October 4, 2023, the commission ordered the builder to deliver the completed flat with a completion certificate within two months, or refund ₹20.49 lakh with 9% interest, rising to 12% on default, plus ₹50,000 compensation and litigation expenses.

The builder did not comply. A court-appointed advocate reported that the offered flat was unfit for occupation. The commission rejected Sidhu’s financial-difficulty claims and ordered him, already in custody, to serve his sentence at Model Jail, Chandigarh.

Kapil Goyal, an allottee of a Tower A flat at Parkwood Glade in Sante Majra village, Kharar tehsil, Sector 116, on the Main Kharar–Landran Highway, said he had pursued possession for 14 years. He has been an allottee since May 14, 2012.

Punjab RERA allowed his complaint on April 19, 2022, and issued a recovery certificate on October 18, 2024. Goyal said it remained unexecuted despite seven representations and more than six years of parallel proceedings, including a withdrawn refund case, a possession case and an execution petition.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court disposed of his petition, directing the Mohali deputy commissioner to execute the certificate in accordance with law within two months of receiving the order. The article describes Parkwood Glade as a failed Punjab government project and reports allegations that its builder’s former Bank of Punjab promoters used domestic and offshore entities to strip assets and evade enforcement.
