Three unauthorised colonies demolished in Jagadhri

A demolition drive was carried out by a team of District Town Planner (DTP) in three unauthorised colonies in Jagadhri.

The team headed by DTP Rajesh Kumar demolished damp proof courses, sewerage lines, boundary walls and road network in these unauthorised colonies, which were spread over six acres.

Kumar said as per the instructions of Deputy Commissioner Captain Manoj Kumar the unauthorised colonies were being demolished and action was being taken against the promoters of those unauthorised colonies.

He further said the Naib Tehsildar of Jagadhri tehsil was appointed as Duty Magistrate and police force was provided by the SHOs of the Haryana State Enforcement Bureau and Farakpur police station.

The DTP has appealed to the people of the district not to invest their money in such unauthorised colonies and to contact the DTP office before buying a plot.

“Before carrying out any construction in the controlled area, one can apply on the portal of the Town and Country Planning Department to obtain permission for land use change and if required, the District Town Planner's office can be contacted for more information on any working day,” said Kumar.
