The Department of District Town and Country Planning (DTCP) in Gurgaon, Haryana, has launched a major enforcement drive, demolishing more than 7,600 unauthorized structures over five days. This initiative, which followed government directives issued on April 16, 2026, aimed to reclaim public spaces in 17 licensed colonies where encroachments had narrowed roads and obstructed emergency access. Among the colonies, DLF 1 and DLF 2 reported the highest violations, totaling over 2,700 cases, with 1,393 in DLF 1 and 1,384 in DLF 2. The drive also reclaimed approximately 216 km of internal roads, significantly improving public access and safety. The nature of violations varied, with common issues including fencing, ramps, and unauthorized guard rooms. Authorities emphasized the importance of ongoing monitoring and community involvement to prevent future encroachments. The operation marks the beginning of a longer enforcement cycle aimed at restoring and maintaining public spaces in Gurgaon.
