Gurugram: Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) has issued a show cause notice to the Resident Welfare Association (RWA) Raheja Atlantis For construction of unauthorized shops in common areas in Sector 31.
In the notice, Manish Yadav, district town planner (enforcement wing), said the unauthorized constructions in the society — grocery store, salon, coffee shop and pharmacy — are in violation of Section 3B of the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975.
The section also states that no person shall erect or reconstruct buildings in any colony except in accordance with approved plans and subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be specified in the license or as may be specified by the Government or the Director.
“You (RWAs) have violated the provisions of section 3B of the Act by constructing illegal shops in contravention of the provisions of section 10 attracting legal action,” Yadav said in the notice. He directed RWA President PP Singhal to immediately remove the structures and bring the approved building plan before the office on May 15 and prove why legal action should not be initiated against them.
Singhal was also directed to provide certified copies of the approved layout plan, building plan of the said building in support of his argument. On the other hand, the residents alleged that these illegal buildings are a setback as they have reduced the parking area and blocked the movement of air and light.
“Not only this, the electricity connection given to these shops also counts as residential use, while the electricity meter should be for commercial use”, the residents alleged.
Singhal told TOI that temporary structures have been constructed for the daily needs of senior citizens, if the department has objections, we will follow the guidelines.
