MCG Seals Illegal Buildings Near Gurugram Air Force Ammunition Depot After Report
The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) sealed nine illegal under-construction buildings near the Indian Air Force Ammunition Depot in Sector 14, following an internal report identifying nearly 5,000 unauthorized structures within the 900-metre restricted buffer zone over five years. The constructions violate a Punjab and Haryana High Court order banning building activity near the depot. Officials noted repeated breaches of seals and unregulated commercial activities, including an illegal swimming pool. Authorities plan further action against completed illegal buildings amid concerns over regulatory lapses and safety risks.
