The business of non-regularised plotted colonies on agricultural land continues to flourish in Gurugram. The illegal colonies in Gurugram are taking place despite tightened Scrutiny from the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP).
Many customers keep investing their money in these unlawful colonies despite the Department’s repeated warnings, not knowing that all of their funds could be lost.
When selling plots, the vendors and their representatives entice purchasers with a range of amenities. The amenities included roomy sections, well-built roads, sewage connections, and power sources.

DTCP (Enforcement), Manish Yadav, on illegal colonies in Gurugram said, “Without concerned authority’s approval, no new colony will be allowed to develop. FIR will be lodged against the land owner and land mafia. A letter has been written to the Tehsildar concerned that he should not register agricultural land in pieces in these colonies which are developing illegally. The cost of demolition will also be recovered from the land owners.”
