The Punjab and Haryana High Court's recent decision to stay the Haryana government's stilt-plus-four (S+4) construction policy has been met with approval from Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) in Gurgaon, India. RWA leaders highlighted various problems arising from the policy, such as the conversion of residential plots into commercial spaces and inadequate infrastructure to support increased density. Kundan Lal Sharma, General Secretary of the RWA at Sector 21, emphasized that the S+4 constructions have led to significant issues, including the emergence of numerous small flats designed for commercial use without proper utility conversions. Other RWA leaders echoed similar concerns, noting that the policy has exacerbated traffic congestion and safety hazards in already narrow residential roads. While RWAs support the High Court's ruling, some real estate professionals warn that the stay could hinder property development and increase costs for builders and buyers. They argue that while the issues of inadequate parking and misuse of residential spaces need addressing, regulations should not overly restrict builders. Overall, the debate continues as stakeholders seek a balance between development and infrastructure sustainability in Gurgaon.
