GURUGRAM: The department of town and country planning (DTCP) has written to Gurgaon police on Monday to register FIR against 31 offenders, who allegedly carved out seven illegal colonies on 30-acre land in and around the city.
Out of the seven police complaints against the offenders, four have been filed at Bhondsi and three at Farrukhnagar police stations. These illegal colonies, covering two to eight acres, have come up at Bhondsi, Farrukhnagar and Ghamroj in the last few months, police said.
Around 11.5 acre in Bhondsi was developed into three illegal colonies by the offenders. The colonies were developed on plots measuring 1.5 acre to six acre.
In Farrukhnagar, three illegal colonies on over 12.5 acre agricultural land were carved out by the offenders. The department has written to Farrukhnagar police to register FIR against 17 people. Similarly in Ghamroj, five offenders had carved out illegal colony on six acre.
As per DTCP compliant, the land falls within Urban Area limit of Gurgaon. “The Section 3 of Act no. 8 of 1975, provides that the land owner shall get a licence before carving out a colony within Urban Area from the competent authority. Section 7 (i) of Act of 1975 prohibits sub division intention to sub division of land for carving out the colony. Section 7 (ii) prohibits construction in a colony for which license under section 3 of Act of 1975 has not been granted,” the complaint reads.
District town planner (enforcement) RS Batth said, “The offenders have violated the norms by sub-dividing land for the purpose of colony. The offenders are deliberately continuing with the contravention of provision of Act of 1975 and rules.
