There is good news for the people living in illegal colonies of Gurugram city. The illegal colonies situated in small pieces between the colonies in Gurugram will also be regularized. In this regard, on the instructions of the Urban Local Bodies Department, the Municipal Corporation has started their survey work. The department had issued a notification a month ago to regularize these colonies.
Lakhs of people of the city are expected to benefit from this scheme of the department. The Urban Local Bodies Department has submitted the list of 332 colonies of Gurugram district to the Municipal Corporation Gurugram, Manesar, Pataudi, Sohna and Farrukhnagar Municipal Council. Most of the colonies in Gurugram Municipal Corporation area are included in this. This scheme will provide relief to about five lakh families of the city.
Let us tell you that in some areas along with or between the regularized colonies within the Municipal Corporation, illegal colonies were cut down by the dealers, but these colonies could not be regularized. 294 such small colonies of Gurugram have been identified. These are those colonies which have been carved out on the land adjacent to them after regular colonies were established within the corporation limits. Illegal colonies ranging from one acre to five acres of land were cut down. The people of these colonies were not getting any kind of facility from the corporation. Now the Urban Local Bodies Department has planned to regularize these illegal colonies in between the regular colonies.
As per the instructions of ATP Siddharth Khandelwal Headquarters of Gurugram Corporation, survey work has been started to regularize the remaining areas between the colonies.
This process has to be followed
The Department has decided to consider those areas or colonies within the municipal, municipal corporation limits identified by the Department as developed and the area in or around it as notified. For one reason or the other these colonies were left illegal. The Government has also decided that a process will be adopted for delimitation or identification of such left out colonies.
