On Tuesday, the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) conducted a significant demolition operation in Gurgaon’s Sohna Sadar Nimoth Chowki area, targeting unauthorized colonies and structures. With substantial police presence, the authorities dismantled an illegal colony spanning 2 acres, removing three under-construction shops, a dealer office, and associated road networks. In Karanki village, another unauthorized colony covering 2.5 acres faced demolition, including a 200-meter boundary wall and an under-construction building. Additionally, two illegal farmhouses occupying 2 and 5 acres respectively were taken down, with features such as gates, guard rooms, awnings, cabanas, and swimming pools being destroyed. Officials have reiterated their commitment to taking strict action against encroachments and have cautioned the land mafia against illegal developments in controlled areas. Residents are advised to verify land approvals before purchasing properties to avoid financial losses. Further demolition drives are anticipated in the city’s outskirts as part of ongoing efforts to regulate unauthorized expansions.
