Gurugram: Continuing the drive against illegal development of colonies, the enforcement wing of department of town and country planning (DTCP) on Monday carried out demolitions at Alipur and Sehjawas villages in Sohna. The enforcement team cleared roads, boundary walls and other illegal structures being developed on 12 acres of land in Alipur, and on 18 acres in Sehjawas.
The demolition exercise was part of the month-long drive against illegal colonies coming up in the district, officials said.
RS Bhath, district town planner, Gurugram, said that five earthmoving machines were used in the demolition drive to remove the illegal constructions. “We received a complaint that a natural drain was being encroached upon by colonizers of an illegal colony in Sehjawas village. All the constructions were demolished and the nullah was cleared. We have also issued warning to colonizers to refrain from such activities or they will be booked for violations,” Bhath said, adding that an FIR has already been registered against an illegal colonizer in Bhondsi.
The drive was supported by a large team of Gurugram police, which is working along with the DTCP officials since the month-long demolition drives started.
Meanwhile, in a related development, the Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) on Monday said that it will clear the Sector 14 market of all encroachments, particularly illegal carts, vendors, and restaurants who take over large space in the market during the evening hours.
