A DTPE team, led by Manish Yadav, sealed seven houses in DLF-1 due to illegal constructions, including unauthorized modifications despite occupancy certificates. The action followed multiple complaints from residents regarding aesthetic and safety concerns. Prior show-cause notices had been issued, but property owners failed to comply, prompting enforcement on October 21. The operation was supervised by duty magistrate ATP Anish Grover and other officials, focusing on ensuring adherence to town planning guidelines and enhancing the neighbourhood's safety and aesthetics.
A team from the DTPE sealed seven houses in DLF-1 as part of a crackdown on illegal constructions. The operation, directed by DTPE Manish Yadav, occurred in the A-Block Extension and B-Block, where several residential properties allegedly made unauthorized modifications despite having occupancy certificates. The sealing effort targeted four houses in Lane A-48, two in Lane A-27, and one in B-Block.
The properties were being monitored after receiving multiple complaints from local residents. Yadav stated that this action was part of a continuous effort to address illegal constructions throughout the city, with additional inspections and enforcement measures planned for the near future. The complaints emphasized various illegal construction activities, such as filling cut-out areas, breaching zoning regulations by installing grills, and creating rooms for domestic staff in stilt parking spaces.
Prior to the sealing, property owners received show-cause notices and restoration orders, providing them with sufficient time to eliminate the illegal constructions. However, none of the property owners complied with the orders, leading to the enforcement action taken on October 21. The sealed structures exceeded permissible limits, featuring illegal rooms and modifications that violated town planning guidelines.
The operation was conducted under the supervision of duty magistrate ATP Anish Grover, planning officer Puneet, and junior engineers Rajan and Rohan, along with other department staff members. Their collaborative efforts aimed to address the violations and ensure compliance with the established regulations, thereby enhancing the community's safety and aesthetics.
The recent crackdown by the DTPE underscores the importance of adhering to town planning regulations and addressing community concerns. By taking decisive action against illegal constructions, the authorities have not only improved the safety and aesthetic appeal of DLF-1 but also reinforced their commitment to maintaining order in urban development. This operation serves as a reminder to property owners about the consequences of unauthorized modifications and the need for compliance with established guidelines. As the DTPE continues its efforts, the collaboration between local residents and enforcement agencies will be crucial in fostering a peaceful living environment for the community.
