250 homes on govt radar for building code violations in Gurgaon's Sushant Lok 3
A 12-member enforcement team, led by district town planner (enforcement) Amit Madholia, has served notices to nearly 250 houses in Sushant Lok 3 for violating building norms and land use regulations. Madholia said, "We have asked for a reply within seven days. If responses from these 250 properties are unsatisfactory, restoration orders will be issued followed by sealing actions."
The notices were served on Friday following a detailed six-hour-long survey in A, B and C blocks.
During the survey, DTCP teams clicked photographic evidence and signed notices on-site to speed up the legal process. Madholia told TOI, "The objective of this campaign is to address multiple complaints in one go by surveying entire blocks, thereby saving time and ensuring faster enforcement."
During the inspection, officials identified several residential properties being misused for commercial purposes such as real estate offices, guest houses, beauty parlours, dental clinics, yoga centres and salons.
Alongside, numerous cases of unauthorised construction were found, including rooms built in stealth parking areas, servant quarters in zoning areas, covered cut-outs and illegal structures erected on rooftops.
The initiative follows similar action in Sushant Lok 2 last week, where around 150 properties were served notices.
Many homeowners have since started removing unauthorised structures, particularly those created in parking zones.
DCTP officials said strict directions have been given to residents against any deviation from approved building plans.
DTCP already took similar action in DLF 1 to 5 and is now widening its net to other residential areas witnessing growing commercial activity.
According to Madholia, this misuse not only violates zoning regulations but also disrupts the residential character and infrastructure of these colonies. The department has clarified that no illegal construction or commercial operation in residential premises will be tolerated.
Officials have urged residents to either stop commercial operations or regularise constructions as per norms.
Those who fail to comply face sealing, fines, or even demolition orders in the coming weeks.

Gallantry awards 2025: Uttar Pradesh tops medal tally among states; bags 95 honours for bravery & service
LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh has emerged as the leading state in the country for Gallantry Medals (GM) awarded to its police personnel, according to the latest national honours list announced ahead of Independence Day. The state's police force has bagged 17 Gallantry Medals, six President's Medals for Distinguished Service (PSM), and an impressive 72 Medals for Meritorious Service (MSM) — a combined tally that reflects both exceptional frontline courage and long-standing service excellence. Nationwide, the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir topped the overall list with 127 Gallantry Medals, but among states, Uttar Pradesh took the number one spot, surpassing Chhattisgarh (14 GM), Odisha (9 GM), and Bihar and Maharashtra (7 GM each). In 2024, UP has significantly improved its standing — last year it shared the top position with Maharashtra at 17 Gallantry Medals each, while in 2023, it had slipped to sixth place with just 12 medals, far behind then-state Jammu & Kashmir (55 GM), Maharashtra (33 GM), Chhattisgarh (24 GM), Telangana (22 GM), and Andhra Pradesh (18 GM). Police Gallantry Medals are awarded for exceptional courage and valor in the line of duty, often during high-risk encounters with criminals, anti-extremist operations, or life-threatening rescue missions. Senior police officials in UP police headquarters said this year's strong tally reflects the force's enhanced operational capacity, better inter-agency coordination, and sustained crackdowns on organized crime and criminal gangs across Uttar Pradesh. The President's Police Medal for Distinguished Service and the Medal for Meritorious Service further underline the commitment and dedication of UP's police personnel in ensuring law and order, preventing crime, and safeguarding public safety. Officials said these awards recognize not just momentary acts of bravery, but years of diligent, disciplined service that strengthens the state's security apparatus. They added that Uttar Pradesh's consistent performance in national police honours in recent years demonstrates the impact of modernized policing methods, increased training, and policy focus on proactive crime control, which together have contributed to making the force one of the most decorated in the country.
