The Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) in Gurugram recently sealed five residential buildings in DLF 1 and 2, as well as South City 2 for violating building norms.

The enforcement action was taken on the basis of seven complaints filed on the Chief Minister's online complaint window. After complaints were forwarded to the department, a team of officials was sent to the sites. They found that illegal construction was carried out in the stilt parking area of two houses, and illegal construction on the second floor of another house. All three houses were sealed by the enforcement team on the spot. Similarly, three floors with stilt parking at a residential property and four floors with stilt parking of another residential property in DLF2 were also sealed for violations.

The department first issued show cause notices and restoration orders in all cases, but when no satisfactory response was received from the property owners, the DTCP's enforcement team carried out a sealing drive.
Furthermore, the enforcement team discovered that a residential property in South City 2 was conducting unauthorized commercial activities in its basement, resulting in the sealing of the basement.
