Faridabad, June 30

The Unlock period that started on June 8 has also fuelled the drive against illegal constructions in the district. At least 10 unauthorised commercial constructions were brought down on Sohna road here on Tuesday.

The team of officials of the DTP (District Town Planner) – Enforcement carried out the demolition of 10 illegal shops in the area near the Sohna-Ballabgarh road.

These were newly built and were waiting to be sold or leased out. This was the 11th drive by the department since June 9 when the first demolition after the lockdown period was carried out.

Claiming that a total of 90 structures (residential and commercial) have been brought down in the past 21 days, Naresh Kumar, DTP Enforcement, here said that these constructions had come up mainly in the past few months.

He said nine FIRs have been filed against the property dealers engaged in carving out such colonies. “Staff has been deputed at each of the Tehsil offices here to check the registration of land done each week and report any discrepancy immediately. The villages where the demolition had been carried out recently include Bhopani, Kidawali, Sahupura, Sunped, Kadarpur, Nachauli and Saroorpur villages,” he said. — TNS
