Civic Body Demolishes 32 Flats in Gurugram Without Approval

Certainly! Here’s a rewritten version of the content:


GURUGRAM: In a significant action against unauthorized constructions, the enforcement team of the corporation demolished and sealed 32 under-construction flats on Tuesday.

According to officials, the illegally constructed flats were situated in Anamika Enclave, Sector 14, lacking mandatory map approval from the MCG and a fire safety NOC.

“The building was missing a fire escape door, which is essential in case of a fire emergency,” stated MCG assistant engineer RK Mongia. He emphasized that any illegal construction in the city will not be tolerated, and similar strict measures will be enforced going forward.

On Tuesday, a team led by Mongia, including junior engineers Pradeep Sharma, Rohit, Ankit Kapoor, and Varun Vashisth, arrived at Anamika Enclave with an earthmover. This operation followed instructions issued by the joint commissioner, ensuring prompt action was taken.

The demolition was carried out with police assistance, ensuring full compliance with public safety protocols and legal requirements.

MCG officials have stated that buildings erected without official plan approval are demolished immediately upon receiving relevant reports. To obtain building plan approval, applicants should submit their requests through registered architects using the Haryana Online Building Plan Approval System (HOBPAS). Councillors have also highlighted issues of unauthorized construction within MCG limits and called for action, indicating that such practices burdens the city’s infrastructure and civic services, contributing to problems like illegal water and electricity connections.
