High Court Revisits Restrictions Around Gurugram Ammunition Depot Affecting Residents
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has reopened discussions on easing the 900-metre restricted zone around the Air Force ammunition depot in Old Gurugram, affecting about two lakh residents. The court referenced the Supreme Court's 2024 ruling that quashed the 1983 restriction due to inaction by the Centre. Gurgaon MLA Mukesh Sharma has urged the government to issue a new, scientifically determined notification reducing the restricted area, which currently hampers development, municipal services, and property transactions in densely inhabited sectors.
