Chandigarh Housing Board Delays Sector 53 Housing Scheme

Imagine a plan to build new apartments in your city.

The Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB), which is like the city's home builder, wanted to build homes in Sector 53.

They asked people if they were interested and many people said yes.

But the CHB decided to make the homes more expensive.

Because of this, the plan got delayed.

The CHB is giving the money back to those who wanted to buy a home.

This happened because of some unexpected changes in the cost of building the homes, meaning the homes will now be even more expensive.

This isn't the first time the CHB has had trouble, as past housing projects also had issues, particularly with affordability.
