DTPE seals houses for illegal constructions in Gurugram’s DLF-1

A DTPE team sealed seven houses in DLF-1 during a crackdown on illegal constructions. The operation, led by DTPE Manish Yadav, took place in A-Block Extension and B-Block, where multiple residential properties reportedly carried out unauthorised modifications after obtaining occupancy certificates.The sealing drive covered four houses in Lane A-48, two in Lane A-27 and one in B-Block.These properties were under scrutiny following numerous complaints from local residents. "This action is part of an ongoing effort to curb illegal constructions across the city. More inspections and enforcements have been planned for the near future," Yadav said. The complaints highlighted illegal construction activities, including filling cut-out areas, violating zoning regulations by installing grills and building rooms for domestic staffers in stilt parking areas. A resident from DLF Phase 1, Rajiv Mehra, said, "We have been complaining about these violations for months. These illegal constructions not only spoil the aesthetics of the area but also create safety hazards. It's high time the authorities took action." Before the sealing, the property owners were served with show-cause notices and restoration orders, giving them ample time to remove the illegal constructions. However, none of the owners complied with the orders, leading to the enforcement action on Monday. The sealed structures extended beyond the permissible limits, with illegal rooms and modifications that violated the town planning guidelines. Another resident, Neha Batra, expressed relief over the crackdown. "We were concerned about the increased congestion these illegal structures were causing. Many people were converting parking areas into additional rooms, leaving no space for proper vehicle parking. This move by the DTPE is a welcome step towards maintaining order in the neighbourhood," Neha said.
