Gurugram Seals Illegal Stilt-Plus-Five PG Buildings Amid Ongoing Court Review
In Gurugram's DLF Phase-3, five paying-guest buildings illegally constructed with an extra floor beyond the permitted stilt-plus-four norm were sealed, totaling 225 rooms. The District Town Planner's enforcement team, led by Amit Madholia, also demolished unauthorized stilt-floor structures and cleared 29 illegal commercial establishments and encroachments. The Gurugram RWA Federation highlighted that these violations persisted openly for years, raising questions about regulatory oversight as the Punjab and Haryana High Court continues to consider the stilt-plus-four policy.
