DTCP Orders Data Collection and Enforcement on Stilt-Plus-Four Residential Buildings After HC Stay

Following a Punjab and Haryana High Court stay on the 'stilt plus four floors' residential policy, the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) has initiated a statewide data collection on infrastructure, fund utilisation, and encroachments. Agencies including GMDA, HSVP, MCG, and HSIIDC must submit detailed reports by May 1, covering violations in stilt parking areas and unauthorized constructions. The court has ordered removal of encroachments, with authorities planning strict enforcement and potential demolition for non-compliance, affecting residential buildings citywide, including VIP localities.
