GMDA demolishes illegal shops on land reserved for Gurugram infra projects

The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has demolished more than 15 illegal shops built on land reserved for infrastructure projects in Sector 90 Gurgaon.

Officials said the encroachments were located on land earmarked for roads, green belts and civic infrastructure development.

Authorities indicated that additional demolition and clearance drives would continue across identified sectors in the city, reported The Times of India.

The action forms part of ongoing efforts to free land required for planned infrastructure and urban development projects.

Officials said illegal encroachments have affected execution timelines for several civic and road projects in expanding urban sectors.

Gurgaon has witnessed rapid urbanisation and rising pressure on land linked to transport and infrastructure expansion.

Authorities indicated that enforcement drives would continue in coordination with civic and planning agencies.

The development highlights increasing focus on land recovery for planned urban infrastructure expansion in NCR cities.
