Gurugram Development Authority Begins Survey to Identify Squatters

GMDA officials conducted an inspection of DLF Phase 3 and Vyapar Kendra, Sushant Lok-1, as part of an anti-encroachment drive aimed at addressing illegal commercial activities in residential areas, as reported by an official on Saturday.

During the inspection of Nathupur Road, U and S Blocks of DLF Phase 3, officials discovered widespread encroachments, including portions of the road up to 10 feet wide and illegal extensions of buildings.

An official noted that Nathupur Road, which connects to MG Road, remains congested due to unauthorized establishments. Most of the road space had been encroached upon by vendors and temporary shops, with rents ranging from Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000 per month.

RS Batth, GMDA's DTP and nodal officer for enforcement, stated that a strategy would be prepared to systematically address the encroachments. He highlighted that large residential plots were being misused, with each floor illegally converted into gyms, commercial spaces, or one-bedroom units, with up to four flats per floor, often rented to students. These activities were in clear violation of regulations.

The team also instructed shopkeepers to remove their establishments from corridors and parking areas, emphasizing the need for compliance with regulations to maintain the area's functionality as a commercial zone.

Batth added that public support would be sought through dialogue with all stakeholders to prevent further illegal constructions. He emphasized that public participation would be crucial for ensuring long-term solutions. A detailed survey was being conducted in DLF Phase 3 to identify and document all violations, with a focus on clearing road encroachments and taking action to effectively address the issue. In the case of habitual offenders, strict measures would be taken against serious violations.
