In response to a stay issued by the Punjab and Haryana High Court on the 'Stilt plus four floors' policy, the Haryana government launched a significant anti-encroachment campaign in Gurugram on Saturday. The operation commenced in DLF Phase-1, where eight teams from the Town and Country Planning (Enforcement) Department executed simultaneous demolitions. On the first day alone, authorities demolished over 215 guard rooms, cleared more than 250 park encroachments, and dismantled numerous illegal structures, including ramps, staircases, and boundary walls. The drive aims to reclaim public spaces such as roads and parks and will proceed in phases throughout all licensed colonies in Gurugram. Residents are being encouraged to voluntarily remove encroachments, with warnings of strict enforcement if they fail to comply. This initiative follows directives from Additional Chief Secretary Anurag Agarwal and is part of a broader effort to address unauthorized constructions and misuse of stilt floors. The High Court is also considering five Public Interest Litigations seeking a ban on such constructions statewide, highlighting the ongoing legal and administrative challenges surrounding urban development in Haryana.
