15 Nov 2024 CW Team

The authorities in Gurugram have demolished eight illegal structures located within the Aravali protected zone as part of ongoing efforts to preserve the ecologically sensitive region. These actions come after multiple notices were issued to property owners in violation of environmental regulations. The Aravali range, a crucial green belt, has been facing encroachment challenges, leading to the deterioration of its natural resources.

The demolition was carried out by the district administration and the municipal corporation in collaboration with the Haryana Forest Department. This move is seen as part of a broader initiative to restore the ecological balance in the area, which is crucial for maintaining biodiversity and controlling pollution levels in the city.

These illegal structures had been built in violation of environmental laws that restrict construction in the Aravali region. The demolition operation is aimed at sending a strong message to curb further encroachment in the protected zone. The authorities have promised to intensify surveillance and take strict action against those attempting to construct unlawfully in the future.

The Aravali hills, stretching across Haryana and Rajasthan, are not only vital for maintaining environmental health but also play a key role in preventing soil erosion and maintaining groundwater levels. Efforts to protect and restore the Aravali zone are crucial for the overall sustainability of the region.
