Gurugram: Illegal buildings & walls built on 18 acres razed in DTCP drive
GURUGRAM
: Unauthorised structures such as under-construction buildings and boundary walls built across 18 acres in the controlled urban areas of
Sohna
were demolished in a drive on Tuesday.
Developers had allegedly started unauthorised plotting and construction in violation of urban planning regulations in three villages, Karanki, Sancholi and Daulha. Officials from the department of town and country planning (
DTCP
) said the demolition drive is part of a campaign against mushrooming of illegal colonies on prime land in the region.
According to officials, 25 illegal structures, road networks and boundary walls were demolished during the operation. In Karanki village, an unauthorised colony spread over 1 acre was cleared. The team razed seven DPCs (damp-proof courses), five ready made boundary walls, and an entire internal road network constructed without approvals. In Sancholi, four illegal colonies spread over 11 acres were demolished.
The team dismantled three under-construction structures, nine boundary walls, and road infrastructure. In Daulha village, authorities demolished an unauthorised colony spread across 6 acres, including a 100-metre boundary wall and an internal road network.
"Action was taken under the provisions of the Punjab Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Act, 1963," said Amit Madholia, a district town planner of the enforcement wing. "We had issued prior notices, but no compliance was observed," he added.
Officials noted that illegal plotting not only violates master plans but also leads to poor civic infrastructure and a lack of basic amenities for buyers. Residents are often left in legal limbo, with no access to water, sewage or electricity.
The administration has warned developers and landowners against illegal plotting and sales, reiterating that stringent action will continue if rules are violated. Officials urged the public to verify approvals before purchasing any land.

Burglar targets Gurgaon flat, steals Rs 12L jewellery, caught on camera
Gurgaon: A burglar broke into a ground-floor flat at a residential society in Sector 83 and stole Rs 12 lakh work jewellery on Sunday night. The incident, which took place 8:58pm, was captured on a CCTV camera. Footage showed a man entering the flat, Vatika G-21, in Tower C3 of the society. There was no one in the house at the time. The theft came to light the next day, around 12.30pm, when the family's domestic help found a broken piece of a gold earring inside the house and alerted the flat's owner. On checking the locker in the almirah, the owner found that all the gold jewellery was missing. "We went out for dinner on Sunday evening. The thief entered the flat through the kitchen balcony and took the gold jewellery. Nothing seemed out of place initially, and it was only when our help alerted my wife that we checked the almirah and discovered the theft," said the flat's owner, adding that they filed a police complaint and submitted the CCTV footage. An FIR was registered at Kherki Daula police station under section 305 of the BNS, pertaining to theft in a dwelling house. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Falck: À 29€/mois, cette mutuelle senior assure une protection totale Prio Santé En savoir plus Undo Police said they are scanning CCTV footage and trying to identify the suspect. "A team of the crime branch is also investigating the matter, and efforts are being made to trace the accused," a police spokesperson said. The society's RWA suspects that the intruder entered the society from a vulnerable point near Tower B1 and EWS blocks, where only temporary fencing is in place instead of a boundary wall. In April this year, TOI reported that the DTCP directed the developer to restore the incomplete boundary wall, but no action was taken. Last year in Dec, DTCP investigated the matter on complaints by residents and found that the developer illegally created a passage by breaching the boundary wall and removing designated parking bays to carve out an unauthorised road from the 24m internal road. Subsequently, a show-cause notice was issued in Jan, and restoration orders were issued in Feb and April. However, the boundary wall was not rebuilt. RWA members met police officials and demanded a separate FIR be filed against the developer.
