DTCP, Haryana to conduct checks on Gurugram city roads

GURUGRAM: The Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP), Haryana, directed its planning and enforcement wings in the city to assimilate the lagging state of the roads in the developing sectors of Gurugram. The planning department would be checking the licensed and unlicensed land meant for 24-metre sector roads in sectors 58-115. After surveying, the department would be preparing an extensive report on the illegal constructions on the land reserved for the development of roads. The director of the department took the decision after complaints regarding the lack of 24-meter roads from the residents became more commonplace. The gap in infrastructure has become more prominent and the DTCP would be looking forward to engage nodal agencies in order to resolve the matter.

A senior department official said, “How much land is blocked for these roads and how much proportionate charge the developers can share is also under consideration,” he said, adding that if nothing works out, then the government will also have to look as to whether the land required for this purpose needs to be acquired.

Sudhir Chauhan, senior town planner, Gurugram, said that the issue of 24-metre sector roads would be resolved. “The issue would be taken up with authorities in Chandigarh and local agencies and a solution would be found,” he said.
