The allottees of CHB houses in Sectors 41A, 41D, 45C, 45D, 46, 47C, 39B and 29B have been asked to get the structural stability for their units assessed by the structural engineers empanelled with the Chandigarh administration for the additions or alterations done by them and submit the certificate to the CHB at their own cost.

The report to be submitted by the structural engineers should be accompanied by the design calculations and any other documentary evidence. The structural design of the housing units constructed by CHB is already available on CHB’s website, chbonline, in the notice cited in the media report.

Earlier, the CHB had issued individual and public notices to the allottees of the Sector 41A duplex houses.
