Punjab’s stilt-plus-four real estate rule 2025: Game changer or urban chaos? | circle rate hike explained

When the Punjab Cabinet approved the Unified Building Rules 2025, allowing stilt-plus-four floor construction across 40-ft-wide roads, it sparked both celebration and anxiety.

Conversely, moments of negativity seem to attract further challenges. This personal experience underscores the idea that our current circumstances are shaped by past behaviours, and our present choices lay the foundation for future experiences...
