None of the six colonies had taken permission from the authority concerned for the establishments there, according to the DTCP officials.

District town planner RS Bhath said, “These six colonies were in the initial stages of development... the property dealers had just started the work to carve the colonies for sale of plots. We demolished two shops, around 100 plinths, and 20 boundary walls with the help of several earth moving machines.”

A complaint was filed on CM Window — a 24X7 toll-free helpline, following which, the officials concerned conducted a survey in Bhondsi and Sohna, said the DTCP officials.

“We sought help from police, and carried out the demolition drive on Wednesday. We will identify all the people involved in selling plots in these illegal colonies, and take action against them at the earliest. We also appeal to all the investors to not buy plots in such colonies,” said Bhath.
