Illegal occupants on key Manesar link told to vacate in two days
Gurgaon: GMDA issued a strict two-day deadline to illegal occupants along the multi-utility corridor between
Dwarka Expressway
and Manesar, directing them to vacate encroached land or face enforcement action.
On Thursday, a team of GMDA officials, including the team from the Enforcement Wing and Infra 1 division, inspected the stretch between Elan Miracle Mall and Dadi Sati Chowk.
The visit comes after the project faced hurdles in the redevelopment of the 5.3 km road due to unauthorised structures obstructing the right of way (ROW). While the dense bituminous macadam (DBM) layer was already laid on the main carriageway, construction of the service roads on both sides remains stalled due to these encroachments.
During the inspection, the team identified nearly 30 unauthorised encroachments, including nurseries, temporary carts, kiosks, and even some permanent structures. These were built by landowners in nearby areas, allegedly for commercial purposes.
"Infrastructure work was being hampered by these illegal structures. We have given encroachers a 48-hour window to remove the structures voluntarily. Otherwise, an enforcement drive will be launched next week to clear the area," said DTP Batth, adding that the service roads to be developed on both sides of the corridor are essential for easing traffic and improving access between sectors.

Also, the officials warned that no illegal occupation of public land meant for infrastructure projects will be allowed. "In the first phase, we are covering sector roads, dividing sectors 84-88 and 85-89.
"In the second phase, we will move to the dividing roads of sectors 86/90, 87/91 and the multi-utility corridor," Batth stated that the GMDA has demarcated the land, and any structures within the ROW violate land-use norms.
Once encroachments are cleared, the development of the service roads will proceed without further obstruction.
The road upgradation project—covering sectors 84-88, 85-89, 86-90, and 87-91—was launched in Feb this year, two months after the contract was awarded in Dec 2024. Estimated to cost Rs 49.9 crore, the project includes strengthening the existing six-lane master road, developing service roads, constructing a cycle track, and building footpaths.
