Members of the Cooperative House Building Society Limited, Mohali, have maintained no rules were bent for the Tata Camelot project being developed by Tata Housing Development Company (THDC). The project has been conceived with all set parameters of law and is not a threat to the skyline of Chandigarh.

Members of the aforementioned society are mostly politicians cutting across various political parties who have sold off 22 acres of land to Tata Housing Development Company four years back, for their new project ‘Tata Camelot’, coming up in the Kansal village in Punjab, which lies on the periphery of Chandigarh.

A local newspaper in its news report had alleged that the land sold to THDC by the Cooperative House Building Society was done with vested interest. The newspaper had pointed out many irregularities which were part of the Project being developed by THDC.

 

Addressing mediapersons here today, ex-minister and spokesman of the Cooperative House Building Society Limited, Mohali Balaramji Dass Tandon, alleged malafide reports had been carried by the newspaper.

Tandon reiterated that the project has been well conceived in tune with the existing rules and regulations.

Members of the society demanded that the newspaper’s trustee, chief editor, news editor, printer, publisher and the writer of the report to tender and publish unconditional apology within 15 days with the same prominence with which the false story was published.
