The Supreme Court ordered the demolition of 10,000 illegal houses in Khori village in the Aravali Garg said that demolishing unauthorised constructions from the forest area is the top priority.

After the survey, the Forest Department will go through the records and identify the unauthorised ones. According to Garg, the survey will include mapping all the forest areas within Gurgaon, Manesar Corporations, and the panchayats.

Batth said that the department had sent notices to the owners of the illegal constructions, and within a few days, the buildings will be demolished by the enforcement team.

Residents of Aravali who have been allocated land for agricultural purposes by the government, often sell it to private developers, who build farmhouses and other illegal structures on that land.

The forest department has prepared a gro-reference map for the area and would share it with the survey team. Gurgaon has 6,800 hectares across 33 revenue estates within the Punjab Land Preservation Act (PLPA). The baseline survey using drones will help to identify every structure within the extent of PLPA land, Tyagi said.
