Area Overview
What makes Shivaji Park Colony special
Shivaji Park Colony is a developer project or township in the Model Town and Urban Estate belt, which carries 111 of the 120 rows rather than a locality.
A PROJECT NAME RESOLVES ONLY WHILE THE PROJECT IS THE RECOGNISED LOCAL NAME, and it says nothing about the surrounding locality — which is what determines services, schools and resale.
ASK THE PUNJAB QUESTIONS OF IT: is the colony on the JDA approved list, what is CONNECTED rather than planned, and has the local body taken it over for maintenance.

Pros and Cons of Renting in Shivaji Park Colony
What you should know before moving
What's Great
- ✓Newer stock with planned layout
- ✓A defined development with its own identity
What to Watch Out For
- A PROJECT NAME, NOT A LOCALITY — record the locality it sits in
- CHECK THE COLONY APPROVAL STATUS — under PAPRA 1995, amended in 2024, developing an unauthorised colony carries imprisonment and heavy fines, and buying into one affects services, finance and resale
- Ask what is CONNECTED rather than planned
- Has the local body taken the colony over for maintenance?
- *** DOABA IS INDIA’S NRI HEARTLAND AND JALANDHAR IS ITS CENTRE. *** A very large share of property here is held by owners living abroad and sold through a POWER OF ATTORNEY — verify the instrument is valid, subsisting and actually authorises a sale, and confirm with the owner directly on any significant sum
