The Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) in Haryana, India, has launched a five-day demolition drive across 29 private licensed colonies to address encroachments on internal roads and illegal constructions. This initiative is in compliance with a Punjab and Haryana High Court order that has stayed the state government's stilt plus four floors policy due to concerns over inadequate infrastructure. Eight teams have been formed to carry out the operation, which includes the removal of encroachments like green areas, boundary walls, and illegal internal gates. Amit Madholia, the district town planner, emphasized that the enforcement action will focus on internal roads, with further surveys planned to identify misuse of stilt parking in residential houses. Homeowners found violating regulations may face legal repercussions, including the cancellation of occupation certificates and restrictions on property transactions. The court's order highlights the need for improved infrastructure and stricter enforcement against illegal constructions in the region.
