Illegal construction Rampant in Gurugram

Last week, a DTCP team had sealed five residential buildings in DLF 1 and 2 and South City 2 and a maintenance office set up in the parking area of an affordable housing project for violating Section 3 of the Haryana Building Code.

The department of town and country planning (DTCP) has sealed five residential buildings in upscale colonies — Sushant Lok 1, Greenwood City, South city 1 and Orchid Island — for violating building norms.

A DTCP official said in one of the buildings in South city 1, seven storeys were constructed in violation of the rules and was being used as a PG Accommodation.

Sources said an EWS plot, which is available for Rs 90-1.30 crore, can fetch rental income of over Rs 2 lakh per month, while lal dora plots are available for Rs 10-30 lakh and yield monthly rentals of Rs 1 lakh, making it a highly profitable preposition.
