GURUGRAM: Illegal structures spread across 70 acres in Behrampur were razed in a crackdown by DTP (enforcement) of GMDA, RS Batth, and his team on Tuesday. As many as 50 police personnel and three earthmovers were deployed to demolish 100 structures, including 25 boundary walls, 10 underconstruction structures, a 1.5 km road and illegal borewells.
“FIRs will be filed against the property dealers responsible within seven days. During the drive, house owners showd us their agreements with local dealers. We will take further action against those exploiting buyers,” said Batth, adding that officials warned property dealers against luring buyers into illegal colonies.
The enforcement team found that plots were being sold at Rs 15,000 to Rs 25,000 per square yard through general power of attorney agreements without proper legal clearances.
Property dealers from the Maruti Kunj area and individuals from Delhi were identified as key players.
“We will not allow anyone to misuse the hard-earned money of the poor by selling unauthorised plots,” officials said. The land was originally owned by the village panchayat but was transferred to private individuals under questionable circumstances, Batth said.
