The Department of Town and Country Planning (DTP), Haryana, recently carried out a demolition drive in the Badli area, targeting two illegal colonies that were being developed without mandatory approvals. The action is part of a wider crackdown on unauthorized construction and illegal plotting across the region.
Key details of the action:
-
Targeted structures: The DTP demolished unauthorized layouts, including boundary walls, internal roads, and partially constructed structures within the two illegal colonies.
-
Location context: Badli is located near the KMP Expressway, where rising land prices and improved connectivity have led to an increase in illegal real estate activities.
-
Legal basis: The colonies were developed in violation of planning norms and provisions of the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act. Officials said that prior notices were issued to landowners and developers, but non-compliance forced the department to take strict enforcement action.
-
Public advisory: The DTP has urged the public to verify licenses and approvals before purchasing land or property. Citizens can check the legal status of projects on the TCP Haryana website to avoid financial losses and legal complications.
Officials reiterated that similar action will continue against illegal colonies to ensure planned and lawful urban development in Haryana.
