DTP demolishes illegal constructions in Panchkula

Three-year imprisonment after being booked for violation of the Urban Area Act, 1975 for those engaging in construction activities without acquiring a change of land use (CLU) certification from the Town and Country Planning department.

Priyam Bharadwaj, District town planner (DTP), gave a warning on Friday to the effect after taking control of the demolition of illegal structures at three sites in Kalka.

Bhardwaj told the media that constructing any structure illegally without acquiring CLU from the department calls for registration of FIR against the builder, and he may be imprisoned for three years for violation of the Urban Area Act, 1975. He said that they have been issuing warnings to such builders time and again.

Additionally, Bhardwaj said that they conducted the demolition drive in three areas of Kalka under the supervision of Vikram Singla, Kalka duty magistrate.

The first demolition was initiated at Madanwala village, where illegal constructions were demolished on around one acre of government land. The illegal construction on 1.5 acres of government land has been cleared at Sito Majra Village, and illegal sheds have been demolished at Kanpur and Grida villages.

Bhardwaj also mentioned that structures like this had been constructed by property dealers luring landowners to either construct colonies illegally or sell land to people and ask them to construct their houses. She added that people who do not cross-check permissions for such land later face demolition.
