Subsequent to the suicide of seven association members property dealers inclusive of a property dealer Sanjay Mittal, the Ambala Property Consultant Association(APCA) rendered a protest opposing the municipal corporation (MC) outside the tehsil offices and at the (SDM) office, Ambala Cantonment. The association members grieved for the suicides of seven association members over the last few years, therefore, mounting the protest against the system and the government. They have entreated for the registration of properties in a number of colonies subservient to the Municipal Corporation limits in Ambala Cantonment. The property dealers stamped jingles inimical to the state government and averred that the rationale behind their tremendous pressure is that the registries of properties were not being done from last 10 years. As per the statement of, Omkar Nathi, chief patron of the association, the MC is not registering the properties in unauthorized or unofficial areas although it has been hoarding property taxes and officials continued tormenting the public by not discharging the government orders thereby insinuating the suicides committed by several property dealers.
The APCA requested the government to provide compensation to the families of those property dealers who have committed suicide in the past. In their stipulation they asked that the family members of the deceased should be furnished with an amount of Rs 20 lakh and also proposed that one of the family members should be given a government job in order to support the family in future. SDM Subhash Sihag pronounced that the demands from the APCA has been received and to resort the same, the meetings we will be conducted with the associated officials as soon as possible in order to rectify the problems faced by the property dealers and further added that the Memorandum constituting the demands by the association members will be sent to the government office.
