DTCP gives show-cause to 100 Gurugram homes for illegal construction

24 Jul 2024 CW Team

The District Town Planner (enforcement) in Gurugram has issued show-cause notices to 100 homeowners in DLF 5 for illegal construction and commercial activities in 60 sq yard homes designated for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS). Despite these notices, none of the homeowners have provided satisfactory responses, prompting the department to prepare restoration orders, according to DTCP officials. A DTCP survey conducted in DLF-5 revealed widespread violations in affordable housing. Notices, issued under the Haryana Urban Development Act, required homeowners to submit written responses within seven days. However, no satisfactory responses were received. "The department will now issue restoration orders with a 7 to 10-day compliance period. If the houses are not restored to their original form within this timeframe, a sealing drive will be carried out," said Manish Yadav, DTP (enforcement). Officials noted that EWS houses have been illegally transformed into significant income sources. Property owners have constructed buildings with stilt parking and up to five or six floors, despite regulations permitting only three floors with stilt parking. Rooms have even been built in stilt parking areas. The survey found that property owners created multiple one-room sets per floor, violating building codes by making two to three sets per floor, resulting in 12 to 15 sets per building. This generates rental income of around Rs 25 to 30 million per month. Construction was also carried out in areas meant to be left vacant at the front and back, blatantly ignoring regulations. "Originally intended for three families, these houses now accommodate numerous people, burdening the colony's basic amenities, including water, electricity, and sewage systems," said Yadav, adding that restoration orders will be issued, and if not complied with, the houses will be sealed.
