Gurugram residents seek reversal of four-floor building ban

08 Jan 2024 CW Team

In response to escalating concerns, Gurugram's Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) have composed a formal letter to the Chief Minister of Haryana, imploring him to reconsider and lift the ban on constructing buildings with four floors.

The RWAs argue that the restriction hampers urban development and constrains housing options for the growing population.

The letter, submitted to the Haryana CM, underscores the pressing need for housing solutions to accommodate the city's expanding populace. It highlights the challenges residents face in securing suitable accommodation and emphasizes the potential positive impact of allowing construction of four-floor buildings.

The plea from Gurugram's RWAs aligns with broader discussions on urban planning and the necessity to strike a balance between development and sustainability. The residents argue that a reassessment of the ban would foster a more dynamic and inclusive urban landscape.
