The District Town and Country Planning (DTCP) authority has intensified its efforts to curb unauthorized commercial activities within private residential colonies, with a recent focus on DLF Phase 1. Notably, eight establishments felt the impact of the ongoing sealing drive, while 12 other premises, previously issued notices by the department, were found vacant upon inspection. This multi-pronged operation aims to rectify the infringement of commercial norms.
Ramped-Up Sealing Campaign: Targeting Unlawful Commercial Ventures
Under the leadership of Manish Yadav, the district town planner of Gurugram, the DTCP’s enforcement team has embarked on a dedicated campaign to seal illegitimate commercial enterprises operating within residential areas. The spotlight was particularly on DLF Phase 1, where eight establishments were subjected to closure. The drive, initiated last month, has garnered significant momentum, resulting in the sealing of around 50 properties to date.
Professional Approvals Amidst Regulatory Action
Manish Yadav emphasized that amidst the stringent actions, the DTCP has also received applications from eight property owners who seek to engage in lawful, non-disruptive activities. This proactive step enables professionals like doctors, chartered accountants, and lawyers to utilize these premises for their work, after obtaining due permissions from the appropriate authorities. Such measured consideration aligns with the intent to balance regulatory compliance with the operational needs of various sectors.
Multi-Area Enforcement: Beyond DLF Phase 1
The notices, extending their reach far and wide, have been issued to private colonies not only in DLF Phase 1 but also encompassing DLF phases 2, 3, and 4, Sushant Lok 1, 2, 3, Suncity, Vatika India Next, South City 1, 2, and adjoining colonies. This expansive scope signifies the DTCP’s resolve to reinstate the residential character of various areas across Gurugram.
