Gurugram: The enforcement wing of the department of town and country planning (DTCP) has issued notices to the presidents and general secretaries of 11 major markets in private colonies directing them to remove encroachments voluntarily within seven days. DTCP officials said that if encroachments are not removed from the markets within the given time frame, then the department will begin a demolition drive to clear the encroachments.
