Tightening the noose on those running illegal paying guest accomodations in the city, the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) has made it mandatory for a PG owner to obtain a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the Resident Welfare Association (RWA) in the area.
As per the amended policy notified by GMADA earlier this month, in case there is no registered RWA in the area, the NOC needs to be obtained from the immediate neighbours.
There are about 600 PG accommodations running in the city, with only seven of them being registered, and even these would have to get their registrations renewed.
Further, the new notification has made it mandatory to take permission from GMADA to set up a PG accommodation. Those wanting to run a PG will need to pay `10,000 as processing fee for three-year permission to run a PG accommodation.
