Gurugram Authorities Address Widespread Encroachments Through Survey and Removal Drive
The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) conducted a four-day drive removing 300 encroachments, mainly on government land, clearing around 2,000 metres of road space. Concurrently, a Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) survey found no road free of encroachment, with illegal structures occupying 30 to 70 percent of public spaces on many key roads. The survey highlighted widespread unauthorized use of footpaths, green belts, and service roads, prompting plans for consistent enforcement and patrolling.
