Gurugram MC demolishes under-construction colony

Gurugram, February 26

The Gurugram MC’s enforcement team demolished an under-construction illegal colony in Sector 34 of the city on Monday.

Led by Assistant Engineer (Enforcement) Krishna Kumar and Junior Engineer Pradeep, along with a police force, the team razed the colony named Avenue-34, spread over an area of about three acres.

During the operation, 10 boundary walls and three under-construction buildings were demolished using a bulldozer. The district administration granted Kumar the powers of a duty magistrate to employ the police force if resistance was encountered from the developers of the colony.

MC Commissioner Dr Narhari Singh Banger emphasised a zero-tolerance policy towards unauthorised constructions, encroachments, illegal occupation of MC land and illegal colonisation within the MC area.

He said, “Enforcement teams are continuously monitoring all four zones of the civic body, and demolition drives are conducted periodically with police assistance to raze illegal colonies.”
