Gurugram Authorities Set June 30 Deadline for Illegal PG Tenants Amid Owner Protests
Authorities in Gurugram's DLF Phases 1 to 5 have issued notices to tenants in illegal paying guest accommodations, guest houses, and similar commercial uses of residential plots to vacate by June 30 ahead of a sealing drive. The Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) cited violations of zoning and building norms and warned occupants to verify property legality. Meanwhile, property owners protested, demanding regularisation of these units and a transit-oriented development policy, arguing the crackdown displaces many corporate employees and targets DLF colonies selectively.
