The Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) in Gurugram, Haryana, India, has been conducting an anti-encroachment drive, clearing illegal structures from more than 700 homes over the weekend. This operation, which began on Saturday, involved eight enforcement teams demolishing various encroachments such as ramps, security huts, and parking spaces that had occupied public areas. The drive has faced strong opposition from residents who argue that similar actions should be taken in sectors developed by the Haryana Shahari Awas Pradhikaran (HSVP) and areas under the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG). Residents expressed concerns about the necessity of guard rooms and internal gates for safety, leading to protests, particularly in DLF Phase One. DTCP officials stated that the drive is in compliance with state government directives and the Punjab and Haryana High Court's policies regarding public spaces. The enforcement teams are expected to continue their work for the next two days, with an action report due on April 22. Residents have called for uniform enforcement across all areas, highlighting that violations in HSVP sectors are more prevalent.
