Structures razed at three illegal colonies in Yamunanagar dist

A team of the Town and Country Planning Department carried out demolition drives in three unauthorised colonies. These unauthorised colonies were being developed on 11 acres of land, falling in the urban area of Jagadhri.

District Town Planner (DTP) Rajesh Kumar said the teams of their department carried out demolition drives in three unauthorised colonies at Jagadhri city and Nabh village falling under Jagadhri tehsil of Yamunanagar district.

He said the teams demolished kutcha roads, damp proof courses (DPCs), sewerage lines and water pipelines built in these illegal colonies.

“As per the instructions of Deputy Commissioner Parth Gupta, demolition has been carried out at unauthorised colonies in Yamunanagar district,” the DTP said.

He said notices were issued to defaulters as per the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975, but they did not follow the departmental orders.

He said land owners did not take the necessary permissions before setting up these illegal colonies. So, structures were razed in these illegal colonies, he said.
